mint extract

Concentrated herb flavoring

Mint extract is a concentrated flavoring made by steeping mint leaves in alcohol, used primarily in baking and candy-making.

It delivers intense minty flavor in small amounts: Add a teaspoon of mint extract to the brownie batter.

Peppermint extract is the most common variety, though spearmint versions exist.
