Reply:There are tons of different kinds of mint and most of them are good for cooking or in a tea or other beverage. I prefer spearmint and pepermint for cooking, just because I like their flavor. For cold tea, I take spearmint or lemonmint. For hot chocolate, I put in chocolate mint. For a hot tea, peppermint is good for the tummy and is also soothing. For mint jelly, it's gotta be peppermint, also peppermint is good in candy making. Catnip, is also a member of the mint family and is great in hot tea. It won't make humans crazy like it does cats, in fact, it can help you relax and get a good night sleep.
Reply:ireally like cinnamon ,there is orange,black liquorish.
Reply:Moroccan Mint, (a type of spearmint), for general use, but lemon mint is good with fish or in salads and Indian mint, (that's 'native American' Satureja douglasii), makes a great tea.
Reply:I like spearmint as well it is a good all rounder. It is good in Pimms and it's good for mint sauce and putting in new potatoes for boiling.
Reply:hi, i grow 'normal' culinary mint and black peppermint. both are good, but the black is better for dessert use. just personal taste tho'.
Reply:We grow orange mint that is really good but I prefer spear mint to make tea out of it. The pepper mint is also good for drinks.
Reply:I like pineapple mint for drinks as well. For cooling down spicy Thai salads and making mojitos, I use peppermint. It's the only mint whose leaves I vacuum freeze for continued use year long.
Reply:Chocolate mint. I like the smell and love the taste. I found my first plant in Colorado.
