Dark green, heart shaped leaves have the full strength flavor and aroma of spearmint with a hint of lemon. Lavender colored flower spikes rise above the foliage. The sweet lemon flavor is perfect for summer teas, both hot and cold, or add a few sprigs to lemonade or add a punch of flavor to ice water. Begin harvesting as soon as shoots appear in spring by cutting sprigs or leaves with scissors. Young, tender leaves are more flavorful than old, woody ones. It freezes and dries well.
