Bruise the leaves and put them in a pitcher of ice water for a refreshing drink or mix Apple Mint and Chamomile. Fresh or dried Apple Mint leaves can be used to make a delicious Apple Mint Jelly. Fresh leaves can also be used as a garnish and in salads.
Easy to grow, but can be invasive. Consider growing Apple Mint in a container or raised bed.
I grew this from a small sprig. It is vigorous and hardy here and has a wonderful smell and taste. It's an attractive plant. I wouldn't describe the taste as "chocolate" but the coloration of the plant sometimes goes toward a darker shade with undertones of brown.
This is one of my favorite mints. To me, it smells and tastes wonderful and is distinctive. It's the one I use most often in sun tea. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I would highly recommend it to any lover of the Mints.
This is the mint from Cuba known to be used in the original Mojito drinks (which I really do like!). Not usually commercially available in this country. The plants I have were being sold at a local gardening event. Lucky me! It has some similarity to spearmint, but has a different, milder flavor.
Like most mints, it can be invasive, spreading by underground runners.
Can be somewhat contained by planting in a buried pot, but has a tendency to break through the pot after the second year.
Best to divide it every other year.
The fuzzy leaves are a favorite of kids and smell wonderful.
It can be used, as other mints can, to flavor tea and foods. It is less strong than peppermint, more like a spearmint.
Hardy, aromatic perennial grows to 18” tall. This vigorous growing, bushy plant does best alone in rich, moist soil; but can get along with chives and parsley. Many will only grow it in a pot, away from the soil, lest it get away and take over the garden. It repels white cabbage moths, aphids and flea beetles. It is the menthol content in mints that acts as an insect repellant. Bees and other beneficial insects love it. Harvest young or mature leaves. Medicinal-Aromatic, carminative, anxiety, antispasmodic, antiseptic, aids digestion, flatulence, colds, influenza, migraines.
