Growing Tips

Mints require open soil with summer moisture. Given these conditions they can run away so should be planted where this is desired or in large pots.

Use

Finely chop leaves and use them in sauces and drizzles for deserts, steep whole leaves in boiling water to create an uplifting tea. Make strong tea then mix with chilled soda water for a refreshing drink. Use sprigs as garnish for deserts, salads and cocktails.
