American mint can be made into sauces, vinegar, vegetables, desserts or candies, and can also be used to flavor beverages, toothpaste and medicines. Peppermint made into essential oil has a great cooling and refreshing effect, and can also treat vomiting. Dried peppermint leaves can also be used to make tea and as an aromatherapy herb.
