PJ, glad you highlighted this recipe, because it leads me into a question about mint. I can easily find peppermint extract or oil, and a Mennonite store I shop at carries spearmint extract, but I cannot locate "mint extract" which contains both peppermint and spearmint. I found online a company offering mint extract made by the spice company McCormick, but I sure am not going to spend 8 or 9 bucks on shipping for a 4 or 5 dollar container of mint extract. I may be mistaken, but it seems like mint extract was easy to find in your local grocery at one time. Am I mistaken? It's not a major issue, but I wonder how a combination of peppermint and spearmint would compare with peppermint alone. Thanks, PJ. (P.S. It was -2 degrees here in central VA on Saturday morning). Hi Beth, I did some web searching as well for the mint extract and did not find a store locator. Lots of places like eBay, etc where you can purchase it though. Have you tried contacting McCormick? Looks like their homepage is pretty user friendly, and they have a 'contact us' option. Good luck in your search! ~ MaryJane
