Description

This hardy perennial plant has pointed, slightly crinkled leaves that are a lighter shade of green than peppermint. The whole plant has a sweet characteristic smell. The stems should be small and slender, with a distinctive, refreshing aroma and a tingly taste once you bite it, followed by a small sugar rush. This herb is great for mixing drinks, adding to sauces and any other food where a dash of sweetness is needed.
