Recipes made with Peppermint Extract

Peppermint extract, also known as peppermint essence or peppermint oil, is a concentrated flavoring made from the essential oil of peppermint plants. The resulting liquid is highly concentrated and potent, so only a small amount is needed to add a strong peppermint flavor to recipes. Peppermint extract is often used in desserts like cakes, cookies, candies, and ice creams, as well as in beverages like hot chocolate, cocktails, and teas.
