I’d love to try this, but can’t have mint. Any other flavor suggestions?
I bet you could use any extract, vanilla, almond even orange. The only thing is mint is much stronger…so it might take a touch more vanilla, but I’d go lighter with almond and orange.
I used peppermint essential oil. DELICIOUS!
How much did you use of the essential oil the same as it says or less?
Yum!
I do not like dates. Any substitute?
Hi Ann! We haven’t tried this before, but dried figs can often be a good substitute for dried dates (as well as raisins). Although please note that the texture/flavor may change a bit when swapping out the dates. Let us know if you give this a try!
