This non-native garden mint, commonly found in every island garden, originates from the Mediterranean region. It was introduced to Britain by the Romans, who cultivated it extensively along with other Mediterranean nations. According to Pliny, as recorded by Gerard, mint has a stimulating effect on both mind and appetite. In ancient literature, Ovid describes the use of fresh mint leaves to prepare a meal for divine guests. The ancients also believed that mint could prevent milk from coagulating and fermenting.

Spearmint leaves are broad, smooth, and bright green, with serrated edges and prominent veins giving them a textured appearance. They release a distinct spearmint aroma when touched lightly. Historically, physicians in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome valued spearmint for its medicinal properties. In Roman culture, mint was used to adorn hair wreaths at banquets and decorate tables with sprigs. Spearmint has a milder scent than peppermint, characterized by an invigorating fragrance that is both refreshing and soothing.

How to use:

Hot Infusion:

To prepare dried herbs or flowers, combine 2-3 tablespoons of the dried material in a cup or teapot. Pour hot water over it, then cover and let steep for 10-30 minutes. This process releases the active compounds from the botanicals, including antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils. Strain and press out as much liquid as possible before serving.

Tips:

• Herbal teas can be sweetened using honey, natural fruit juices, stevia leaf powder, or licorice root powder.
• Freeze tea in ice trays or pop molds to create ice cubes or homemade pops.

Precautions: 

Before using this product, consult with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
