Minty Catastrophe
… Well almost…
With the cold weather of late, I have been making lots of hot chocolate. Last winter I had some mint hot chocolate packets. They are kinda spendy… so this year I got some mint extract to make my own. **Side note… it is 90% alcohol and cautions to to pour near an open flame. Damn!!** My first experience with the mint extract did not go too well. I was trying to measure the extract in the cap of the bottle. well with the poor lighting I had, I filled the cap to the brim. aww bugger. TRIED to poor some back into the bottle. Failed. I got mint extract everywhere. It was so strong I was coughing and tearing up just from the strong minty scent. Not wanting to waste the cup of hot chocolate, It was very minty… and very confusing… HOT chocolate… with a COLD sensation from the mint.
I hope I can learn from this lil catastrophe and the next time goes a lil better. Baby steps. Hey at least I didn’t burn the house down!!
