Gary a question for you Thank you so much

[Guest guest]

Hi Gary, I ate a few leaves and they were kind of a tropical sweet. I didn't

notice a mint taste, Eeee I hope it doesn't end up with a minty flavor. It's a

young plant and looks very hearty. I crushed a few leaves and added to weak tea

and I really enjoyed it that way. I want to cook with it now. I will view

these links this evening when I have more time to open them.

Thanks again Gary Garden Guru,,,,,,,,,,,,,(:--) Donna

Hi,

 

I've honestly never tried it in cooking.

 

However on this page is a pesto using it:

On this page:

it mentions using the flowers only for cooking.

" They have a tangy, citrus-mint flavor.. "

 

I can say, I planted one next to the house this past

spring and it is doing great! Smells good too.
