Mint

Mint’s cool, aromatic menthol taste and smell are instantly recognizable. There are hundreds of varieties of mints: peppermint and spearmint are the most popular. Often used as a dessert or candy flavouring, mint also adds an interesting flavour to sauces, meat dishes, salads, and iced tea. Lamb is traditionally served with mint jelly. Herbs that mix well with mint include cilantro, basil, and marjoram.
