Fresh mint is often overlooked in American cuisine, but it’s an amazing seasoning that can be used in everything from drinks to dinners and desserts. It’s also surprisingly easy to grow yourself—you may even have some springing up of its own accord in your backyard as we speak.
There are many varieties of mint, including chocolate mint, apple mint, and corn mint, but the kinds you’re most likely to find at the store are common peppermint and spearmint.
