peppermint extract

Concentrated candy essence

Peppermint extract is a concentrated flavoring made by steeping peppermint leaves in alcohol.

It adds intense minty flavor to baked goods, candies, and beverages: Add a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the brownie batter.

A little goes a long way—it's much stronger than dried peppermint leaves.
