Peppermint

A perennial mint with dark green leaves and small pink flowers. Peppermint also known as Brandy Mint.


A perennial herb, Mentha piperita, cultivated for its aromatic leaves and used as a flavoring agent, carminative, antiemetic, and gastrointestinal antispasmodic.


Resembling the familiar garden spearmint, this European plant possesses a more distinct aroma and flavor. It serves as the source for both an oil and a flavoring extract. The oil is obtained through the process of distillation, wherein the plant is combined with water, while the extract is composed of the essential oil blended with spirit. The oil boasts a more intense flavor profile, whereas the potency of the extract varies depending on the extent of dilution applied.
