Peppermint can be used in cooking and baking, teas/tinctures, and also aromatherapy.  A cross between spearmint and watermint, the flowers of Peppermint are often used to extract oil from the plant known as Mentha Piperita, or “Peppermint Oil.” Consuming peppermint tea can be a great boost for your overall health. You can place a few drops of Peppermint oil in a glass of water or even add it to your tea.
