Orange Mint (Fresh)

This highly aromatic mint tends to be stronger in flavor than many other varieties of mint that we grow at our farm, with lovely notes of citrus and spice and lavender-like undertones. Its aromatic properties are enhanced when crushed. Orange mint works best in fresh preparations. Chop in fruit or grain salads. Add minced leaves to dressings, vinegars, jellies and sauces. Excellent in cream, fruit and chocolate-based dessert preparations such as homemade ice cream, crème brule and tasty tarts. Infuse for teas, cocktails and lemonade. Whole leaves also make a great garnish for sweet desserts and savory dishes.
