  • Question
    What would be a good replacement for mint?
    Sylv Taylor
    Community Answer
    If you can't use mint relatives like catnip or catmint, then holy basil might be a good substitute. If won't have exactly the same flavor profile, but it'll be aromatic and cinnamony, and still be good for you.

    How do I make dried mint leaf tea?
    Community Answer
    You dip the mint leaves in water, then hang them upside down for about 2-4 weeks. They will be dry by then.

  • Question
    When is the right time to harvest mint?
    Community Answer
    I pinch the stem from the point where two leaves come together. This allows it to stay short and bushy, because it starts branching into other directions. As soon as leaves are present, you can pick them. Go from the top down, rather than just picking off the leaves.
