A pleasant mast cell stabilizer that goes well with ginger in teas. Other uses include homemade ice cream, cuisine & cold teas. Once this plant gets established it will do most of the work for you.

Mint likes seasonal temperature changes to help with it's germination process so don't get discouraged. It will come up!
