I would strongly, strongly recommend NOT drinking peppermint extract, doing so for health purposes could be DANGEROUS. Large Internal Doses such as drinking peppermint extract could cause severe kidney damage, irregluar heartbeats, miscarriages in pregnant women. Peppermint extract is a diluted version of the peppermint oil which is 100% oil and the most prodominate active ingredient is menthol. CAUTION: Pure Peppermint should not be ingested and Pure Menthol can be FATAL in as small a dose as 1 tsp. You can use drops of peppermint extract (and even the peppermint oil in a smaller amount) to freshen your breath or add to water or tea. It is used in cooking baked goods, desserts, candy, in dietary supplements.
Yes it can, but I do not know the ratios, all I know is it typically is around 90% alcohol.
You can have peppermint leaves, or you can extract the liqued from the leaves and have peppermint extract.
It appears that peppermint oil, not peppermint extract, works better to get rid of mice. This is because the extract contains more alcohol than peppermint oil, so it will not be as strong as the oil itself.
Yes you can its 1/4 a tsp of oil for 1 tsp of extract
Walmart sells peppermint oil for baking, peppermint oil softgels, and peppermint extract. See the related links for the product listings on Walmart.com.

I had the same question and didn't find an answer so I just guessed. I'm making mint chocolate chip gelato and the recipe calls for 2 cups of mint. I have peppermint extract on hand so I substituted 2 tsp of extract . I think it turned out good for my taste.
