Awesome! Apple mint is somewhat of a recent discovery of mine and I can’t believe how much it smells and tastes like apples, it sounds like the orange mint is similar!
jaja menthol fruits, the best of both worlds, another one way trip is the eucalyptus, it has many varieties, I still don’t get it but when I pass by the squares and there are eucalyptus trees I take a couple of leaves, wash them and put them under my pillow
Do you have any good recipes for using mint? It’s not common where I’m currently living, but had it in the garden when I was growing up. All I can think of is lamb.
Oooh I love cooking with mint. It’s great with lamb, but it works with so many kinds of dishes!
Here are some ideas:
Mash it up and add it to some lemon juice, super refreshing summertime drink.
Tabouleh is a very simple salad that includes mint, this is a goto of mine, works as a side dish with just about anything and is a great way to use up your herbs (if you’re growing mint, you know what I mean, it can quickly get out of control)
Add some mint to your pesto for a fresh take.
Sprinkle some mint on roasted green beans.
Watermelon chunks with feta and chopped mint. Soo good. Might freak you out, doesn’t make sense to the typical American palate, but it’s amazing.
I tried it in food but it seems to me that the strong point is to use it in infusions, hot water + about 4 leaves and you get a tea that you take half a cup and you can drool on your pillow from sleep.
and in food: for sauces, it elevates them.
I know it as orange mint 🍊 (Mentha spicata orange) is super citrusy…

When it outgrows the peanut butter pot you can transplant it into an orange juice jug and convince people that’s why it tastes like this.
my neighbor : me : what happens is that the jug of orange juice gives citrus powers to the mint

Ooh sounds interesting. I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on some. Thanks for the reply!
good luck in your search, PS: seeds are easier to find.
