In the summertime I make iced tea (black) and add fresh mint leaves and steep them together. It makes such a refreshing drink. My favorites are chocolate mint and orange mint.<br /><br />I also grow spearmint, which is a fav of other family members. <br /><br />LaDonna<br />Gracious HospitalityLa Tea Dahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138624485398178242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-32198188632891318772013-05-13T11:40:24.547-04:002013-05-13T11:40:24.547-04:00I too just planted choc mint and there also is a c...I too just planted choc mint and there also is a choc scented geranium!!!

Now I did see some huge teacups at the market, maybe it is time to plant a mint garden too. Mint is also good chopped up in tabbouleh along with fresh tomatoes in the summer.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-58207733945175906662013-05-13T08:48:46.471-04:002013-05-13T08:48:46.471-04:00Love your teacup mint garden, Angela.

Such a nice variety of leaf shapes and textures.<br /><br />I love Eau de Cologne Mint, also called Bergamot Mint and Orange Mint and it gives off a scent that deters flies and wasps. It adds a wonderful dimension to iced tea and frosting.<br /><br />Enjoy your mint harvest!amherstrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770869900528472512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-76008707676400315522013-05-13T07:59:50.481-04:002013-05-13T07:59:50.481-04:00What a lovely combo of mints.
