DESCRIPTION

Spearmint is a perennial plant that grows 11–40 inches tall and flourishes in temperate climates. It is widely used in gums, candies, and dental products for its minty taste, and to promote fresh breath. Its sweet, refreshing aroma is cleansing and uplifting, making it ideal to evoke a sense of focus and positive mood. Spearmint is very different from Peppermint, making it a milder option to use topically on children and those with sensitive skin. In cooking, Spearmint is frequently used in salads, drinks, and desserts, but it can also be used in homemade salad dressings and to marinate meats.

 

PRIMARY BENEFITS

  • Sweet, minty food flavouring.
  • Add to salads, drinks, desserts, salad dressings and marinades.
  • Blends well with Lavender, Rosemary, Basil, Peppermint and Eucalyptus.
  • A milder option for when Peppermint essential oil is a bit too strong.

USES

  • Add a drop to any dessert, drink, salad, or entrée for flavouring.
  • Apply to toothbrush before brushing teeth for fresh breath.
  • For occassional stomach upset, add 1 drop to 125 ml of water and drink slowly.

COOKING WITH SPEARMINT

Essential oils are very potent compared to dry seasonings, spices, or other flavouring agents, so even the tiniest amount can add a serious blast of flavour to your dish. When using Spearmint in cooking and baking, it is best to use the toothpick method – dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the essential oil bottle and stir the toothpick into your ingredients. After you’ve stirred the toothpick around in the dish, do a taste test to see if additional oil should be added.
