Mint dishes are especially popular in oriental cuisine. It is an excellent spice that is suitable for various products.
When we cook at home, fresh mint leaves are often used to decorate dishes. Mint is also used as a food coloring agent. However, fresh mint greens wilt quickly, so it is better to keep them in the refrigerator. During heat treatment, mint loses its freshness, and it must be added to hot dishes right before serving.
In industrial production, peppermint is used to produce essential oil and menthol, which have a refreshing taste. These ingredients are used in the distillery to flavor various alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It is added to
compotes
,
jelly
, syrups and fruit drinks. Extremely tasty and healthy mint tea is especially popular.
If we cook at home, we use both fresh and dried mint leaves. Fresh mint is an excellent addition to poultry and lamb dishes. Dried crushed mint is used in the manufacture of a variety of flour products, and is especially popular in baking. Cooks add peppermint as a seasoning to various vegetables. Mint is used to improve the taste and aroma of a variety of sauces.
Peppermint is usually used as an independent seasoning and is not mixed with other spices. The dosage of this spice, however, not only this one, but also others, should be minimal. On average, the norm of fresh mint per serving should be no more than five grams.
Dried mint
and even less, up to 0.5 grams. Add mint to the dishes a few minutes before cooking.
