Mint

Mint Mentha (peppermint, spearmint, apple mint, pineapple mint)
Spearmint is the usual type used for seasoning lamb or for jellies. It is also used in the Middle East to make mint tea and for salads, tabouli, marinated vegetables and many other dishes. Peppermint has a rather warm and spicy flavor, and is used mostly for making candy and chocolate sauces, where it is infused into alcohol, oil or water before using.
