Its amazing that our earth has offered us so many incredible natural treats that we have taken and incorporated into our sweet treats, and mint is a very interesting one. It must have been thousands of years ago when people realized a mint leave brought them incredible flavors and instant refreshing coolness that would make your breath smell so fresh, so it must have caught on quite quickly. Nowadays I can not even imagine the world without mint, mint gum, mints (candied mint I suppose), mint chocolate, just try and think about how boring things would be without it!!!
