Anyone know where I can get any peppermint essence from - I'm hoping to make some peppermint creams for my son to give as little gifts like I did when I was a child. Thanks

Anyone seen any? I can find orange, pinapple, vanilla but no peppermint :-(

Pulverise a packet of 'Polos' - just a suggestion!

Thanks Tenakoutou, looks like I might just have to do that - I visited 6 different supermarkets both East and West of Girne and found nearly every flavouring possible other than peppermint! Will have to think of some other kind of yummies to give as presents :-(

Thanks Lilli, you're a star! If they do have some I'd be super greatful if you could get it for me as I don't get to the South very often. Let me know if you do and I'll pop and reimburse you xx

Have you tried the little Tempo opposite Ezic as they have loads of different essences, worth a visit

Thanks Smithy, I'll have a look although I've looked in the Karaoglanoglu Tempo, Ilelli, Starling, Lemar, Erdener, and Supreme all with no joy.

After posting my last msg, I took a look in my cupboard and found a bottle of peppermint extract (superior thn essence) the bottle has been opened but I only bought it in October this year whilst in UK, yours if you want it.



Post a contact number and I'll call you, I'm on the East side
