Ingredients
Dried peppermint leaves.
How to use
Infusion: 1 teaspoon (1-1.5 g) in 250 ml water at 85-90°C for 5-7 minutes. Cover the cup during the infusion so that the menthol does not evaporate with steam. Sweeten with honey to taste. In desserts: incorporated directly into creams, truffles or garnets — the heat of the cream moisturizes the leaves and releases the aroma. For cocktails: hydrate 1 teaspoon in cold water 10 minutes before use, or add it directly when stirring with ice. In lamb marinades: mix with olive oil, garlic and lemon — let marinate at least 1 hour. Dehydrated mint amounts to approximately half the amount of fresh mint.
Storage
Store in airtight jar, in a cool, dry and light-protected place. Peppermint is especially sensitive to moisture — once it loses the menthol aroma, it does not recover. Do not store with spices with strong smells (pepper, cumin). Consuming in the first 12-18 months.
