Homegrown mint
In the heat of summer, nothing refreshes like the cool flavor of just-picked mint. It’s perfect in iced tea, cocktails, and
mixed into salads.
The most common mints are either a type of peppermint or spearmint. Peppermints contain menthol, so have a very strong flavor,
and are often used to flavor dishes but aren’t actually eaten. Spearmints are sweeter and milder, and leaves can be mixed
into dishes.
