Can you replace peppermint extract with peppermint oil?

Yes, you can replace peppermint extract with peppermint oil in most recipes. However, peppermint oil is more potent than extract, so you will need to use less of it. Typically, you would use about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint oil for every teaspoon of extract called for in the recipe.

Can you drink extract?

I would strongly, strongly recommend NOT drinking peppermint extract, doing so for health purposes could be DANGEROUS. Large Internal Doses such as drinking peppermint extract could cause severe kidney damage, irregluar heartbeats, miscarriages in pregnant women. Peppermint extract is a diluted version of the peppermint oil which is 100% oil and the most prodominate active ingredient is menthol. CAUTION: Pure Peppermint should not be ingested and Pure Menthol can be FATAL in as small a dose as 1 tsp. You can use drops of peppermint extract (and even the peppermint oil in a smaller amount) to freshen your breath or add to water or tea. It is used in cooking baked goods, desserts, candy, in dietary supplements.

What does mint do to your hair?

Peppermint provides a cool tingling feeling to your scalp. Peppermint is also good for oily hair as it pulls some of the oil out. Peppermint is good for dry hair as it moisturizes the hair and makes it stronger. The tingling affect stimulates your hair follicles and promotes hair growth. It also leaves your hair fresh and clean.
