What is mint tea?
Mint is a popular ingredient in many herbal teas.
Its menthol-like flavor makes it very appealing, making it one of the most popular tea ingredients in the world.
Like the vast majority of herbs, mint is caffeine-free, making it a great tea to drink before bed.
The scientific name for mint is Mentha piperita, and it’s actually a cross between watermint and spearmint.
It’s native to Europe, but the wide range of uses has made peppermint a global ingredient.
Mint grows well in almost all temperate climates.
Gardeners often grow it in pots because of its invasive, spreading rhizomes (roots and plant stem).
In other words, it’s a plant whose spread is difficult to control.
The plant generally prefers partial shade, but can also thrive in sunny locations for part of the day.
Spearmint leaves can be used fresh, dried or frozen.
They can also be preserved in salt, sugar, syrup, alcohol or oil.
The leaves lose their aromatic properties after the plant has flowered.
The legend of mint
The name ‘mint’ probably has its origins in Greek mythology, where a love story takes place.
As in all Greek mythologies, there are many versions of the same story.
The most popular version tells that Hades seduced the nymph, Minthe.
This understandably led to his wife, Persephone, becoming angry and consumed with jealousy, turning Minthe into a plant that people would constantly step on.
Upset by his wife’s interference, Hades arranged for the plant to be mixed with peppermint so that when the plant was stepped on, it would release a wonderful scent.
Hades hoped that this would remind the world how beautiful and full of life Minthe had been.
This further fueled Persephone’s rage at her husband’s interference because Minthe’s presence would forever be in the air as a constant reminder.
