A versatile kitchen essential, Spearmint offers a refreshing, subtly sweet and slightly savoury flavour. Perfect for brewing calming herbal teas or adding aromatic depth to Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes.

Use it to season roasted vegetables, marinades, soups, curries, yogurt sauces, chutneys, and salads. It also brings a lovely cooling note to chocolate desserts — try infusing milk for ganache or homemade chocolates. For best flavour, add dried spearmint towards the end of cooking.

Pairs well with: chamomile, ginger, coconut, lime, cilantro, and lemongrass.

Spearmint Tea Brewing Instructions:

• Bring water to a boil.
• Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried spearmint per cup into a tea infuser or teapot.
• Pour hot water over the leaves, cover, and steep for 3-5 minutes (shorter time for lighter flavour).
• Strain and enjoy plain or with sweetener of choice.
