French peppermint is a plant that is very high in menthol. It differs from sweet mint in that it has smaller leaves and more stems.

In addition, it has a slightly peppery and very strong scent. This scent becomes even stronger when you rub the leaves between your fingers.

According to some botanical studies, peppermint is believed to be a hybrid of spearmint (Peppermint) and water mint (Mentha aquatica).
