Peppermint oil (straight up oil) and peppermint extract (extract has oil and alcohol) are not the exact same thing. Oils are stronger and require less than extracts, which are more liquid and contain less of the “flavor” balanced with alcohol. Either way, Peppermint is really strong so you don’t want to overdo it. I personally use this Peppermint Oil (food grade) by LorAnn . The peppermint flavor is also what makes them perfect Christmas butter mints! If you need to use an extract, the balance is usually 4:1. So in this case, you would need 1 tsp of extract to reach the same peppermint content as 1/4 tsp of oil. How to make Old Fashioned Butter Mints
