Dried mint should have a more intense flavour than fresh. Steeping dried mint 4 minutes should result in a good flavour, if it does not the mint is old and should be replaced. Fresh mint leaves should be steeped approximately 6-7 minutes and remember to use much more mint. (4 times as much fresh to dried)
Coffee should be steeped in a French press for about 4 minutes to achieve the best flavor extraction.
For optimal coffee extraction with an AeroPress, steeping should typically last for about 1-2 minutes.
Peppermint is not recommended as a bath oil. The peppermint essential oil can cause stinging, or dermatitis. When peppermint essential oil is included in mixtures intended for topical use it is drastically diluted with an inert carrier oil.
Actually peppermint oil won't hurt the skin(unless you have very sensitive skin), people use peppermint oil in spas so you should be okay if a little peppermint oil gets on your skin or you could simply wash it off.
no. peppermint would aggravate and give you heartburn. I would take a anti-acid like pepto- bismal.
Don't chew gum eat a peppermint! whoevea wrote this i think that you should chew peppermint gum for u information!
yes, but you should prefer vegetable oil.
Oh, dude, no way! Peppermint extract won't get you drunk. It's mostly just used for flavoring in baking and stuff. If you're looking to catch a buzz, you might want to stick to the good ol' fashioned adult beverages.
Yes, they are peppermint is related to the catnip family. My cat loves peppermint altoids. Just like catnip though, you want to watch that you don't feed your kitty an OD. Keep the quantities smallish, maybe a quarter to a half mint
If you buy just pure peppermint tea there should not be any caffeine in it. Just to be safe you may want to look at the ingredients to make sure it does not have any type of other tea in it. However though sometimes peppermint teas have other things in them besides just peppermint leaves, it may also say something like bergmont essence but as long as it doesn't say Black Tea or Green Tea in the ingredients it should be fine. The only type of tea it should say in the ingredients is peppermint tea.
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.
Put it in the microwave on full heat for 7 minutes. This will dry the water out and levae your phone intact..... Mostly.
