I meant to add just a few drops of peppermint extract into my shake and I ended up added almost a tablespooon. WHoa spicy! I wish I had more ice to make a new one.  I just had to share my pain as I choke this down.

nfarris, I about fell out of my chair when I read this! Too funny!!!!!


I have done that with orange extract before, and definitely not the refreshing citrusy (sp?) taste I was looking for., Wow! way too strong.  Just a few drops'll definitely do...lesson learned.

 I ended up throwing it out. I just couldn't stand it.

Been there, done that many times w/ the lemon extract that I add to my morning Greek yogurt.  Blech!

I did that with Peppermint also, while trying to recreate the Shamrock shake flavor from Mcdonald's! I didn't have peppermint syrup on hand (which is what the recipe calls for) for I threw in a teaspoon of extract.  Whoa boy!  It tasted like I had mixed toothpaste in with my protein!  YUCK

LOL on the fresh poop comment.

Peppermint is also great for clearing the mind. I love the smell can not really hack the taste.
