Peppermint audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Peppermint" — noun, pronounced /ˈpepəmɪnt/, with the stress on "pep".
Narrator: A peppermint is an aromatic mint plant, and the sharp, cooling flavour taken from its oil, used in sweets, teas and medicines.
Narrator: In plain English, it is the strong, cool, tingly mint you taste in a mint humbug or a cup of after-dinner tea.
Narrator: The word joins pepper, for its hot, biting sharpness, with mint, which comes through Latin menta from Greek minthe, the name of a nymph in old story.
Narrator: A common collocation is peppermint tea, describing a clear herbal infusion often drunk to settle the stomach after a heavy meal.
Narrator: It differs from spearmint, which is softer, sweeter and grassier, while peppermint is colder and far more bracing on the tongue.
Narrator: You will also hear peppermint oil in aromatherapy and baking, and a peppermint stick meaning a red and white striped sweet cane.
Narrator: Herbal medicine, confectionery, dentistry, perfumery and food manufacturing all rely on the word every single day.
Narrator: So remember: peppermint is the sharp, cooling mint of tea, toothpaste and striped sweets.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Why does peppermint feel cold in the mouth when nothing about it is actually chilled?
Speaker B: Wonderful question! PEPPERMINT, from pepper meaning biting and mint from the Latin menta, contains menthol, which tricks the cold receptors on your tongue into firing.
Speaker A: So the coolness is a sensation rather than a temperature?
Speaker B: Exactly so, and that is why a peppermint sweet can feel icy on a warm summer afternoon.
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "She brewed a pot of peppermint tea after supper." — a herbal infusion. "He offered me a peppermint from a paper bag." — a small mint sweet. "The cake was finished with a peppermint icing." — a mint-flavoured topping.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Peppermint is one word with a double p in pepper, never pepper mint or peppermint with a hyphen, and remember it is both a countable sweet and an uncountable flavour.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: Spearmint is the gentler cousin, menthol is the chemical twin, and mint itself is the broad alternative, yet peppermint keeps its bracing, wintry charm!
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
