For a richer ginger flavor, use freshly grated ginger instead of crystallized ginger. Be mindful that fresh ginger will impart a stronger flavor. Adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more, drop by drop, until you achieve the desired level of coolness. Aging is crucial for the flavors to harmonize. The longer you age it, the smoother and more complex the final product will be. Use high-quality extracts for the best flavor. Imitation extracts can impart an artificial taste.
