Mint
Mint is an extremely popular flavor, but the only kinds of mint that we use frequently are spearmint and peppermint. Most mint is used fresh, but you can sometimes get it dried. When I was a lot younger my uncle had a mint patch out behind his house and we'd pick a few mint leaves and suck on them for a few hours. Peppermint
leaves can be made into tea, and it can be used to flavor sweets, candies, or liquors. Spearmint is the mint flavor most frequently found in cooking, and is the version of mint used in mint jellies that are served with roast lamb. Mint only really combines well with lamb or duck in terms of meats, but it goes well with fruits and most
vegetables, too.
