Description
The leaves of mountain mint are rich in limonene, menthone, pulgeon, and menthol. While they are not as pungent as the true mints, such as culinary peppermint or spearmint, mountain mints are certainly useful for herbal teas, cider, coffee, tinctures, and salves. Historically, mountain mint flowers were used to treat tooth aches.
Plant Care:
Cut mountain mint 1-2 inches below the leaf cluster, at the stem node. Stem node – Point where stems meet and looks like a “V”. Use leaves and discard the cut stems.
