Peppermint is a popular herb known for its refreshing and invigorating flavor. The leaves of the peppermint plant are bright green and slightly serrated, offering a cool, minty taste with a subtle sweetness and a characteristic menthol finish. When used in cooking or beverages, peppermint provides a clean, crisp sensation. Fresh peppermint leaves are often used, but dried peppermint is also common for teas and flavoring. This aromatic herb is a versatile ingredient, often sought after for its distinct flavor and cooling properties, making it a favorite addition to desserts, beverages, and savory dishes alike.

Fresh peppermint is best stored in the refrigerator. Wrap the stems in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or container. This helps retain moisture and prevent wilting. Dried peppermint should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its flavor and potency for up to a year.
