Answer 2

In a regular custard recipe if it calls for vanilla extract, just put peppermint extract in place of it, and add green food coloring til you have the green the shade you want.  If there is no vanilla extract in the recipe, then just add about 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract.  Less at first as it is strong. Depends on how big a batch you are making.  

Answer 3

OMG i remember this when i was a kid - with chocolaqte cake at school!  That brings back some memories lol.

I think you have to buy it because normal custard tastes so different to the mint variety.  I dont think you could just add the mint flavouring as i dont think it would taste the same would it? But i'm not sure perhaps you could look it up on the net?   Sorry cant be of more help.
