MOJITO MINT

While recipes call for any available variety of spearmint, the real mojito can only be made with the true mojito mint. This mint was impossible to get in North America but we now have the authentic plant from Cuba. It is clearly different from most other mints - its scent and flavor are agreeably mild and warm, not pungent nor overly sweet like other mints. In a perhaps typically Cuban understated way its warm embrace lingers until you realize you want more.

Like all mints, it is easy to grow and will happily provide more than enough sprigs for your mojitos.
