Peppermint

Peppermint essential oil is my favourite, so I’ll start with it.

I can hardly imagine something more refreshing than smell and taste of good mint.

Summer time is easy… what your first is thought…mint/lemonade, mojito…

• Add 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil to your lemonade, you can add a drop of lemon oil as well.
• Make a mojito with peppermint and lime oil, serve to your guests, I bet everybody will be asking you for the recipe.
• I personally love to put a drop in my coffee ( cold or warm ).
• Also mint / cocoa combination is something that I remember from childhood, my favourite sweet was “After Eight”. Just make sure not to put oil in very hot beverages, let it cool for a minute.

When cooking or baking you can use this oil instead of peppermint extract, just be careful, and put only a few drops instead of 1 tsp. 

NOTE: Make sure that you are using pure essential oils.

Other than making nice drinks and delicious sweets, there are plenty benefits of this wonderful peppermint essential oil. Here are some of them:

• Good for digestion, headache and as a pain relief
• Cool off on a hot day
• Wakes you up, refreshes you -especially when driving or studying
• Increases concentration
• Helps with nausea and respiratory infections
• Beneficial when suffering from rheumatism or arthritis
