Directions:
Peppermint has greenish-purple lance-shaped leaves while the rounder leaves of spearmint are more of a grayish green color. The taste of both peppermint and spearmint bear a flavor that can be described as a cross between pepper and chlorophyll, with peppermint being a bit stronger and spearmint being a little more cool and subtle.

To store fresh mint leaves, carefully wrap them in a damp paper towel and place inside of a loosely closed plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator, where it should keep fresh for several days. Dried mint should be kept in a tightly sealed glass container in a cool, dark and dry place, where it will keep fresh for about nine to twelve months.

A cup of fresh mint tea can help to soothe your stomach and your nerves.

Toss cubes of cooked eggplant with chopped mint leaves, plain yogurt, garlic and cayenne.

For a quick and easy salad, combine fennel, onions, oranges and mint leaves.

Give fruit salad a unique perk by adding some fresh mint leaves to it.

Add chopped mint leaves to gazpacho or other soups that feature tomatoes as the freshness of the mint complements the sweet acidity of tomatoes very well.
