As soon as you open this, you'll know why many believe it's the best peppermint they've ever used. Handy around the holidays, but useful year-round. Use to make peppermint candy, or for baked goods and desserts. Delicious in hot cocoa, coffee, or to make a peppermint mocha. Its potent, pure mint flavor is due to the fact that only the finest peppermint oil is used. As with our other extracts, this is a gluten-free peppermint extract. If stored with a secure cap, it will last a year or more. Maintains peppermint flavor whether used in baking or freezing.
