Wrigleys Extra Peppermint Sugarfree Mints (Pack of 24)

Product Information

The After Eights bring a subtle minty-cold and quite unique chewiness from the frozen mint fondant they contain. Although to ensure full ‘mintyness’, the ice cream still has a custard base that is flavoured with natural extract of peppermint too. PLUS you can add dark mint chocolate for extra cool… AND if you like, steep the hot cream with mint leaves, for a natural undertone. The choice is yours! What are After Eights and can I use an alternative? Make a sugar scrub. Freshen up your dry skin for summer with a mint and cucumber sugar scrub at Creations by Kara. Keep it close to your shower for a DIY spa treatment at home right now.

Another way of preserving mint is to separate the stems and layer between paper kitchen towels. I store these in a sealed plastic container and find they will last quite happily in the fridge for about a week. Because homemade ice cream doesn’t contain a load of additives and emulsifiers, it will generally set a little firmer than some shop-bought ‘soft serve’ type ice creams. The easiest way to ensure the ice cream is a little bit softer, is to add a drop of alcohol to the custard once cool and before churning. This is because alcohol lowers the freezing temperature, making it softer and easier to scoop. Relieve congestion. Add a handful of fresh peppermint leaves to a glass of water. Bring to a boil. Take off the heat and inhale the steam to help relieve congestion. Offer it to an old peoples home so they can use it in fresh mint teas……..

I had so much last year - apple, chocolate, ginger, grapefruit, pineapple and peppermint - I took great armfuls of it to the local cafe bar where they had great fun experimenting with it for future dishes/drinks. (Saffron Gardenchild ). Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream seems to be ‘traditionally’ flavoured green… Even though this is not its natural colour. I guess the association with green mint is considered to be appealing. However, as this is homemade ice cream, you have the choice on whether to colour or not! It will taste great either way. Well I made two different marinades/salad dressings, once was an apricot dressing w/ mint, the last was a lemon mint quinoa “salad”. (Lisa Brady)
