Can anyone recommend a good source for freshly dried Spearmint? How do
I know if the spearmint is fresh or not? For example I have some that's 1.5 years old and I assume it has lost its edge, but how would I know just by inspecting it? I use spearmint leaf in my iced tea blend, about 2 parts Yunnan Gold to 1 part spearmint leaf, and it is definitely that time of year again. I have spearmint from the likes of Adagio before but I was hoping for a better or more direct source. I grow some of my own spearmint, can anyone tell me how they use fresh spearmint in their tea? I do know that a nice big sprig n the glass makes a nice presentation and adds a hint of aroma and flavor. What's the best way to dry it?
