Homemade Creme de Menthe is an easy and delicious recipe that can go toe to toe with the stuff you can buy at the store! That’s why today we’ll make it two ways: first we’ll use mint essential oils for a quick version, followed by another with dried mint tea. To test them out I’ll also make a Grasshopper cocktail that feels like eating After Eight thin mints, so if you’re ready for a sweet, minty & chocolate-y episode - and if you want to learn more about how to use Essential Oils safely in your drinks - pull up a chair and get ready. It’s Cocktail Time!
