Will definitely make this! Waiting for 2L of boiling water to cool down takes all day. Mostly because if we use an electric kettle half the amount of water will fit. I have apple mint tea. Love this recipe! I usually just put mint leaves in a big mason jar with water and store it in the fridge, but this gives me a new perspective. I also will maybe try the syrup… I wanted to check out a recipe to see how accurate mine was, and it was almost on spot… Thanks tho!!!
I tried this with some fresh grown mint and it was a big hit! The flavor is so refreshing and the mint syrup really brings out the minty-ness. I made a gallon and just added the syrup to the jug to taste rather than to the individual servings. Mint leaves replace the tea leaves in this recipe. You could steep some black tea along with the mint leaves, which I think would be quite delicious as well!

Irritable bowel syndrome IBS is a common digestive tract disorder. It is characterized by digestive symptoms like stomach pain, gas, bloating and changes in bowel habits. Although treatment for IBS often includes dietary changes and taking medications, research shows that taking peppermint oil as an herbal remedy might also be helpful. Peppermint oil contains a compound called menthol, which is thought to help alleviate IBS symptoms through its relaxing effects on the muscles of the digestive tract 4 , 5.
A review of nine studies including over patients with IBS found that taking peppermint oil capsules improved IBS symptoms significantly more than placebo capsules 6. Notably, nearly all research showing IBS symptom relief used oil capsules rather than raw mint leaves. IBS is a common digestive disorder. Several studies have shown that taking peppermint oil capsules improved the symptoms of IBS patients.
Mint may also be effective at relieving other digestive problems such as upset stomach and indigestion. Indigestion may occur when food sits in the stomach for too long before passing into the rest of the digestive tract. Multiple studies have shown that food passes through the stomach quicker when people take peppermint oil with meals, which could relieve symptoms from this type of indigestion 8 , 9. A clinical study in people with indigestion showed that a combination of peppermint oil and caraway oil taken in capsules had effects similar to medications used to treat indigestion.
This helped improve stomach pain and other digestive symptoms Several studies have shown that peppermint oil can speed up how quickly food moves through the stomach, relieving digestive symptoms associated with indigestion. In addition to ingesting mint, there are claims that inhaling the aroma of essential oils from the plant could provide health benefits, including improved brain function.
One study including young adults demonstrated that smelling the aroma of peppermint oil for five minutes prior to testing produced significant improvements in memory Another study found that smelling these oils while driving increased alertness and decreased levels of frustration, anxiety and fatigue However, not all studies agree that peppermint oil could benefit brain function.
One study found that although the aroma of the oil was invigorating and led to less fatigue, it had no effect on brain function More research is needed to help understand how it may work and investigate whether peppermint does, in fact, improve brain function.
Some studies show that smelling the aroma of peppermint oil may improve memory and alertness, while other studies show no effect. More research is needed to further understand the effects of mint on brain function. Breastfeeding mothers commonly experience sore and cracked nipples, which can make breastfeeding painful and difficult. Studies have shown that applying mint to the skin can help relieve pain associated with breastfeeding. In these studies, breastfeeding mothers applied various forms of mint to the area around the nipple after each feeding.
Typically, they used an essential oil on its own or mixed with gel or water. One study showed that applying peppermint water after breastfeeding was more effective than applying expressed breast milk in preventing nipple and areola cracks, which resulted in less nipple pain Another study similarly showed that only 3. Furthermore, an additional study showed that both the pain and severity of nipple cracks decreased in mothers who applied menthol essential oil after each feeding Some values are approximate.
Note: Values are rounded to 3 significant figures. Fractions are rounded to the nearest 8th fraction. It is difficult to get an exact conversion of cooking ingredients as the density of these substances can vary so much depending on temperature, humidity, how well packaged the ingredient is, etc. These words add even more uncertainty: sliced, chopped, diced, crushed, minced, etc.
Therefore, it is better to measure dry ingredients by weight rather than volume as this can be more accurate. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided on this website, neither this website nor its authors are responsible for any errors or omissions.
