Ground peppermint is dried peppermint leaves (Mentha piperita) milled into a fine green powder, giving you a clean, cooling mint flavor that measures by the pinch instead of by the handful. Because the leaf is already finely milled, it blends evenly into both wet and dry recipes with no chopping and no bits to strain out. In the kitchen it is a flexible flavor to keep on hand. Stir it into cookie, brownie, and cake batters, buttercream, homemade chocolate, and ice cream, or add a small amount to smoothies, cold drinks, and yogurt dips. It also works in savory cooking, from mint pesto and lamb rubs to peas, grain salads, and cucumber sauces. The taste is concentrated, so start with a little, taste, and build up from there. It doubles as a fast herbal tea. Stir about a teaspoon into hot water for a caffeine free minty cup, or blend it with green tea, matcha, or cocoa for hot and iced drinks. Store the powder in a sealed jar away from heat and light to keep its scent fresh. Packaged in two sizes so you can pick a small jar to try or a larger supply for regular baking and brewing.
