Mint Frosting

I love cupcakes! If you're going to make cupcakes, then why not make homemade frosting too? Mint is refreshing and perfect for St. Patrick's Day (or any day)!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Butter, room temperature
1 lb box Confectioners Sugar 
1 tsp Vanilla 
3-4 Tbsp Milk
1/2 tsp Mint Extract
1-2 drops Green food coloring 
Directions: 
Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and milk in a mixer on low speed. Then beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Scrape down bowl and add in mint flavoring and food coloring and mix another 30 seconds or so. Enjoy!
