One of my coworkers is the nicest person ever and she gave me a spearmint plant because I mentioned during a casual conversation that I was interested in growing one indoors in a pot. She just hauled off and got me one and also printed off instructions on how to take care of it. Can you believe how unbearably sweet that is? Seriously! I want to be like her.
Anyway, I promptly looked up how to make tea with the leaves. Here's a link: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Spearmint-Tea I need to get a sieve, though I do have a colander. Looking forward to trying to make it.
Meanwhile, here's hoping I can keep it alive! I've been studying up since I got it. I want to have this plant for years to come.
Lower androgens, here I come!
Wow, that is really sweet it's very seldom one meets people like that! awh I am happy for you! now you have a spearmint plant, does it smell like spearmint?
I feel like I know so many people like that. I'm surrounded by very kind people. I really don't deserve it. I wish I was that way. I pray that I will be one day.
And yes, it smells like spearmint! Smells good. One of my coworkers wanted to smell and she liked it so much she said now she wants one. She has an outdoor garden, herself. I think maybe, to "pay it forward," I'll root some of my spearmint, pot it, and then give it to her.
I haven't tasted any yet. I remember reading a book where a guy kept a spearmint plant on his desk and he was always munching on the leaves. I'm going to try some tomorrow.
