  • Mint oil is that part of the leaf that contains the fragrance. When bought it is a highly concentrated sample of the oils which were produced by a commercial process.
  • Everyone knows oil and water do not mix, but oil and alcohol do.
  • Mint extract can be made at home by chopping and bruising washed mint leaves. Measure the leaves in a glass measuring cup. Place the leaves in a glass container with a tight fitting lid. Add twice the volumn of drinkable alcohol (for every cup of leaves add 2 cups of alcohol). Cover, shake and leave it be for a month. You have a food flavoring that can be used now, next month or next year because of the alcohol perservative. And if you don't care for alcohol, don't worry because it evaporates away from the oils very quickly.

How much extract is in one mint leaf?

There is no answer to this question. "Extract" is, well, extracted from the leaves using a solvent, and since leaves vary in size and essential oil content, and extracts vary in the relative proportions of essential oil to solvent, there's no possible way to give a single answer.
