Peppermint essence, also known as peppermint extract or oil of peppermint, is a concentrated form of the peppermint plant's essential oil. Peppermint essence has a strong and refreshing minty flavor and aroma, which adds a delightful and cooling sensation to various culinary creations. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent in both sweet and savory dishes, including desserts, beverages, sauces, dressings, and confections. A small amount of peppermint essence can go a long way in infusing recipes with its distinct minty taste.
