Product Description
The best peppermint comes from the northwestern United States. The pure, moist mountain air of the spring and early summer growing season gives this peppermint some of the highest volatile oil counts of any member of the mint family. Generally the second cut is the most flavorful, coolest and most pungent.
Peppermint is often consumed after meals as the oils stimulate the flow of bile and helps relieve gas pains. It has been reported that peppermint sweetens the breath and calms the digestive system, helps heartburn, stomach ache and nausea. An interesting way to use peppermint is to place a handful of peppermint in your bath which will lower your body temperature.
Peppermint is believed to be a hybrid species that evolved from spearmint and watermint. However, peppermint has been around for a long time. It has been found in 3000 year old Egyptian tombs. 2000 years ago the Japanese cultivated peppermint as a source of menthol. Peppermint is a primary ingredient in remedies used in the relief of gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, and local aches and pains. Peppermint tea is made from both the leaves and the flowers. As a hot tea it is cool and refreshing, as an iced tea the menthol content produces a pleasantly chilling taste sensation.
Peppermint is used extensively in various recipes. One of our favorites for 2 people is Banana Mint Slush.
1 ripe Banana, 1 teaspoon of Peppermint leaves, Grated peel of 1 lime, 1 cup of skim milk, 5 ice cubes
Place the banana in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until slushy. Serve immediately. [Less than 100 calories)
Hot tea brewing method
Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of peppermint for each cup into the teapot. Pour boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the flavor). Pour into your cup. Milk or sugar is not generally added to the cup.
