MINT

Mint Mentha

Mentha 'The Best' is the best mint for Mojitos! Mojito recipes call for rum, sugar, lime juice, and mint. It is different than other mints because it has a more mild and warm scent and flavor, not pungent and sweet like most mints. It is a vigorous grower and may be best to plant in containers so that it does not overtake the garden. It is great in herbal teas and helps with stomach digestion. Freeze the leaves in ice cubes for parties.
