So, I realized yesterday that I can use crushed up altoids as "anti-pepper" and I'm actually at a loss of what do with this information
Coffee? Sweets? Sauces? Sushi?
I was thinking of adding it to a mint salsa verde to increase its coolness and serving it with rack of lamb but I'm actually having trouble comprehending the implications of this technique.
get yourself a t shirt at buffalo wild wings
Crush it up in a puddle and mirtle

Just use some fucking dried mint you twit. what the fuck is "anti-pepper?"
>>7559655
Dried mint isn't the same thing. Mint itself has mostly herbal flavors, the menthol content is very low. Altoids have a higher menthol content than any other candy and as a result have almost no taste other than "cold"
The point of this isn't to impart the herbal flavor of mint, but the coldness. That's the big mystery

How high are you?
You know you can just buy menthol right

You can get peppermint/spearmint oil at your local hippie bullshit store.

Something tells me whatever you try with altoids will vaguely taste like toothpaste and orange juice
>>7559927
That's the reason I'm having trouble.
See, the bitter taste of toothpaste and orange juice is caused by something other than the mint flavoring, but I can't separate the two ideas from each other
>>7559933
Idk what to tell you other than use menthol and mint/spearmint oil on its own
>>7559953
You're misunderstanding. The problem isn't that I'm having the the orange juice toothpaste flavor, the problem is that I can't imagine the right flavor combinations because any time I try to imagine what, say, menthol and orange juice taste like together, I just imagine toothpaste instead of menthol

Haven't you ever had some of those crappy minty fruit gums? It'd probably be kind of like that.

Chew some star anise for inspo.
