Spearmint/Peppermint

Spearmint for Tea

Growing by my Pond.
Spearmint has a sharper flavor than Peppermint. 
Peppermint leaves are rounder than Spearmint leaves. 

Peppermint tends to be more delicate and sweet.  I use Spearmint for savory dishes and rich sauces. 

Peppermint is a better choice for desserts and simple vegetable dishes.

For tea use fresh leaves or let dry for winter months.

How can I forget those magic afternoons in Rabat Morocco, the carpet shops in the Medinas of Fez and Marrakesh, sipping Mint tea made with lots of fresh tea leaves and many, many cubes of sugar.

Have a wonderful and sweet week my dear
