Does anyone have a recipe or method of extracting the oils from my peppermint plants?
I want to experiment with making cheap 'tooth powders'(toothpaste) using baking soda and peppermint oil. I tried just grinding the dried leaves in a mortar and pestle and mixing them in....it tasted great but I wasn't too awful fond of the green specks left after I brushed my teeth :haha:
I have fresh peppermint growing outside, and some dried from last fall.
