QOTW - What are your 5 favorite spices and 5 favorite *Ani

Ani,

   Chocolate mint is wonderful as an herbal " tea " .  You can dry the leaves to

keep for several months in a air-tight (a " tin " or, as I do--use a glass jar)

container.  I steep about 2 tsp. or so of leaves in a mesh infuser with boiling

water for a few minutes--MMMM!  It really is good!  The leaves in a tea don't

taste exactly like chocolate & mint, but they have a similar aroma and are

milder and sweeter, I think, than regular herbal peppermint leaves.

How do you use chocolate mint? Is it fresh or dried?  I have never seen

it anywhere.
