Hi everyone! I’m looking to expand my herb garden specifically for tea. I currently have Lemon Balm, which I love, but I’m ready to add some true mint varieties to the mix.
I’m looking for a balance between unique flavors and medicinal benefits. Here is what's on my radar so far:
Eau de Cologne Mint: I am actually obsessed with the perfume scent of this one. My only worry is finding a variety that isn't strong enough—the stronger the scent, the better for me.
Strawberry Mint: I’ve heard great things about the fruity profile, but does it hold up well in a hot tea?
Peppermint: A classic for digestion, definitely planning on this one.
Does anyone have experience with these, or other "high-intensity" favorites? I’d love suggestions for varieties that hold their flavor/scent well when dried.
Also, if anyone has tips on keeping them from taking over the whole garden (other than the standard "put it in a pot" rule), I’m all ears! Thanks!
