McCormick Pure Peppermint Extract, 16oz 0.47l - FAQ
- Q: What is peppermint extract?
- A: Peppermint extract is made from the essential oil of peppermint leaves (Mentha x piperita), a natural hybrid of water mint and spearmint. The oil is mixed with alcohol and water to capture its cool, refreshing flavor.
- Q: What does peppermint extract taste like?
- A: Peppermint extract delivers a strong, clean mint flavor with a cooling effect from menthol, the natural compound in peppermint oil. It adds a crisp, refreshing note to both sweet and savory recipes.
- Q: Why does peppermint extract contain alcohol?
- A: Alcohol serves several purposes. It is used at first to pull out the peppermint oils, but just as important, it acts as a cutter to tone down the intensity of pure peppermint oil and as a carrier that spreads the flavor evenly in food. Without alcohol, peppermint oil would be too strong to measure easily and would not mix smoothly into batters, icings, or drinks. Most recipes use only a small amount of extract, and once baked or cooked, the alcohol boils off (at about 170° F), leaving behind only clean peppermint flavor.
- Q: How can I use peppermint extract in cooking?
- A: Peppermint extract is popular in holiday baking, candies, and chocolate desserts. Add it to icing, cookies, or homemade candy canes. A splash also works in cocoa, coffee, or iced tea. In summer, some people even add a drop to a glass of ice water for a refreshing twist.
- Q: What are non-food uses of peppermint extract?
- A: Peppermint extract is widely used as a flavor or fragrance in products such as mouthwash, chewing gum, and cosmetics. The menthol in peppermint creates a cooling sensation that people often find soothing and refreshing.
- Q: Can peppermint extract be substituted with other ingredients?
- A: Yes. Peppermint extract can be replaced in recipes (and visa-versa)with peppermint oil (in very small amounts, since it is stronger), crème de menthe, or peppermint schnapps.
- Q: Is peppermint extract only for the holidays?
- A: No. While peppermint is especially popular at Christmas time, it is versatile year-round. Use it in ice cream, brownies, cakes, or even to brighten up summer drinks such as iced tea and lemonade.
