Chocolate Mint Drink
December 14, 2011
Chocolate and mint always make a good pair. I guess it's safe to say by now you already know some significant tidbits about chocolate. Let me shine some light on you about mint this time.
Mint flavor is extracted from mint leaves that have a rather powerful scent, and available all through the year. Its leaves are typically green, but there are some that are purple, blue, and yellow in color. The plant can grow to approximately 120cm tall.
Mint leaves can be used to repel mosquitoes and as a medicine to soothe the stomach. While sometimes used even in beauty products, mint is mostly utilized in the culinary department. It is often used in beverages, syrups, ice cream, and chocolate candies.
Chocolate mint is produced when mint flavoring, such as peppermint, spearmint, or crème de menthe, is combined with chocolate. Just so you know, every 19th of February is the Chocolate Mint Day as declared by the National Confectioners Association.
Here's a simple yet luscious chocolate mint drink recipe for you!
