Kardea Brown knows a thing or two about gingerbread. After all, she's one of the hosts of "Holiday Baking Championship: Gingerbread Showdown," which is currently airing on Food Network. Having watched contestants create gingerbread masterpieces — and sampling some of their goodies — Brown has her own opinions on what makes the best gingerbread. And in her opinion? It requires one secret ingredient: mint. "I love incorporating mint to my gingerbread house," Brown said in a recent interview with Fansided. "It's classic and evokes feelings of nostalgia."
That's not the only ingredient Brown has been known to add to her gingerbread. She's also a fan of mace, which is a Caribbean spice that comes from the dried exterior of the nutmeg seed (via Spruce Eats). "I love adding mace to my gingerbread recipe. It provides a flavor that I think makes the recipe really pop," she revealed in the same interview. It's a trick worth considering the next time you're baking a batch of gingerbread cookies.
