Apple Mint is a beautiful light green mint with wrinkled and fuzzy leaves. In late summer you'll see beautiful cream or lilac colored flowers from this mint.
Crush the leaves and you'll quickly smell the strong apple scent of the Apple Mint. The fruity taste is sweeter than most mints. It's the perfect mint for use in summer salads, fruit dishes and it makes a beautiful tea. It also pairs nicely with peas and potatoes.
Try mixing it with chamomile or lavender for a fragrant and calming herbal tea. Apple Mint is also good mixed in with cream cheese for tea sandwiches or appetizers. The fruity taste adds a nice sweetness to the mixture and is a terrific partner to berries or other fruits.

Apple Mint is supposed to help ease the sting of a bee or other insect. Just place the leaf on the insect bite.
