How to choose fresh mint leaves
- Choose fresh mint leaves that are dark green, have fine hairs on both sides, and when gently squeezed, they release a characteristic aroma.
- To make this beverage smell better, you should choose European mint leaves instead of Southern mint leaves.
- Avoid choosing mint leaves that are bruised, spoiled, or show signs of pest damage.
Differentiating between mint leaves and spearmint
- Mint leaves grow symmetrically, are egg-shaped, have serrated edges, and have fine hairs on both sides, while spearmint leaves are elongated, have serrated edges, and do not have fine hairs on the leaf surface.
- Mint leaves will have a strong and spicy aroma, while spearmint leaves mostly have a fragrant spiciness but are not as strong as mint.
- The mint stem grows upright or sprawls, while the spearmint stem only grows upright.
