Can you tell the difference between Spearmint or Peppermint?
To me, this seems like the biggest scam in the world.
Can you tell the difference between Spearmint or Peppermint?
Yes! Peppermint is too strong/overpowering of a flavor to me. Spearmint is much better.
Reply:Yes I can.
I love Peppermint and hate Spearmint.
Reply:Yes- peppermint makes me feel nauseas (too strong for me) and I love spearmint. They taste completely different.
Oh, the reason why peppermint makes me feel nauseas is because when I was pregnant with my first baby it made me sick.
Reply:I think peppermint is lighter and sweeter.
But spearmint is stronger and "colder."
Reply:Yes, I prefer Spearmint myself - Ppeppermint is a bit too overpowering at times.
Reply:Absolutely !!! - Two very different tastes !!!!!!!

What is the difference between Wrigley's Doublemint and Spearmint gum?
One is Doublemint, the other Spearmint. Not their fault they taste the same.
Reply:Actually they don't taste the same. Doublemint tastes like peppermint and Spearmint tastes like spearmint...

Anybody know a good recipe using spearmint leaves?
Rabia's Fantastic Chutney
40 servings 11 min 10 min prep
4 cups fresh cilantro
1/2 cup spearmint
2 medium tomatoes
4 jalapenos (to taste)
5 ounces tamarind paste
6 garlic cloves
1 onion
3 whole dried red chilies (optional)
Blend all until liquid.
I freeze this in little cups so we have it on hand all the time.
Reply:They are excellent with peas.
Add a few when boiling or steaming, and stir in a few more when the peas are cooked.
Drain boiled peas first and the heat from the peas will heat the oils in the leaves.
Have been told you should tear the leaves, not cut them. If you like them like me use them whole,
I can't tell the difference
Add them to whatever you fancy and you might surprise yourself with a new unusual taste experience
Go for it
Reply:they make a good tea- serve it hot or iced
