Mint Extract

Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly sealed to preserve flavor and prevent evaporation.

Start with a small amount and add more to taste, as extracts are highly concentrated.

Use mint extract in cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream, and frosting for a refreshing flavor.

It's also great in cocktails, mocktails, and hot beverages like hot chocolate or tea.

Consider using it in savory dishes, like lamb or certain salads, for an unexpected twist.

Using too much extract, which can result in an overpowering, artificial minty taste.

Substituting fresh mint for extract 1:1 without adjusting other liquid ingredients. Extracts are much more potent.

Storing near a heat source, which can degrade the flavor over time.
