Description
Peppermint (mentha piperita)
Peppermint is an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean but now grows all over the world. This plant thrives in water and is often found growing wild close to streams and in wetlands. Usually used in cooking and as a garnish, Peppermint leaves a refreshing taste and a cool feeling that can wake the senses.
Menthol oils in Peppermint create an intense chill that can be both bracing and refreshing, that is why it is often used as an extra treat to a meal or a drink. Peppermint essence can make your taste buds tingle and leave you wanting more.
As one of the world’s most popular flavours, it can be added to a number of beverages and desserts and we suggest pairing it with drinking chocolate to create an amazingly tasty treat. You will find the silky chocolate will become invigorating, sweet and intense when you mix it with Peppermint Essence.
