Peppermint is just one of many species of
the plant genus Mentha, but it's arguably one
of the most recognizable. Peppermint oil has
been used medicinally for hundreds of years.
The versatile ingredient also pairs well with
white, milk, and dark chocolate; savory
dishes like lamb or pork; and even liquors
like rum or vodka, making it the perfect
ingredient for the holiday season.
Following are some of the newest
products touting the cool,
refreshing flavor.
