Spearmint

I have quite a patch of spearmint - came with the property, as well as another mint, and I'e yet to figure it out, it's very mild and fuzzy.  My favourite mint is peppermint, because it makes amazing tea, as well as iced tea, and killer mint juleps.  I just planted some peppermint, and I've no doubt that it will spread in no time.  I ilk ego use spearmint fresh, on certain desserts, with whip cream, and jellies.  Since I have more than I can use before it gets too mature, I decided to cut it down and dry it, like I would peppermint, and see if I can still make tea and get other uses from it.

I lay it out on the floor, on paper, in a single layer, not in direct sunlight.  Direct sunlight will bleach it and destroy the flavour.

Maybe it will make a good blend for a tea infusion.
