dōTERRA Spearmint | Green Mint (Curly)

Curly mint is a sweet, refreshing herb used as a flavoring agent worldwide. It is commonly used in the production of gums, confectionery, and dental products due to its minty taste and breath-freshening ability. Curly mint is very different from peppermint, making it a milder option for use both in dishes and when applied to the skin. In the kitchen, curly mint is often added to salads, drinks, and desserts, but it can also be successfully used as an ingredient in homemade salad dressings and meat marinades.

Key Benefits:

• Sweet, minty flavoring agent for food.
• Can be added to salads, drinks, desserts, dressings, and marinades.
• Pairs well with essential oils of lavender, rosemary, basil, peppermint, and eucalyptus.
• A milder option for those who find peppermint essential oil too strong.

Uses

• Add one drop of spearmint oil to desserts, drinks, salads, or appetizers.
• Make your own refreshing mint lemonade by mixing juicy lemons, water, sugar, and a drop of spearmint essential oil.
