I am Canadian and we have delicious Maple Syrup here in the Eastern Canada, I
was wondering if I could use this syrup in my Baklava instead of the simple
syrup you mentioned in your recipe.

Dede,
What kind of mint is it? Peppermint? I went to an Indian spice store and
they sold me a bag of bulk mint leaves and it tasted like some other exotic
spice with a hint of mint in it. I am looking for that strong mint taste that
you get in Med. cooking. Any suggestions?

Thank you!!

I know Penzys sells, both spearmint and peppermint. You can trust the quality. I
love going to Indian markets, but for some ingredients such as dried mint, it's
probably better to get it from there. i know i'm going to.
