A common garden herb with a delightful citrus, spearmint flavour. This is reputed to be THE mint used in the classic Cuban Mojito (pronounced Moheeto). It is a natural cross between M. spicata and M.suaveolens with the Cuban name of Yerba Buena (which is literally “Good Herb”).

Flavours/Food Partners

Partners well with other mints, lime juice, scented geraniums and lemon verbena for teas, cocktails and sweet dishes. Use in any drink or sauce that requires a mint-citrus flavour.

Health/Cooking/Medicinal

Mojito is a classic drink from Cuba and other parts of Central America and the Caribbean. Its origins go back to the 16th century in Havana. Mash 6 sprigs of mint with the sugar cane juice (or raw sugar) and 30ml lime juice. Fill glass with ice and add a splash of soda then 40 ml of white rum, top with more soda and garnish with mint leaves.

Landscaping/Planting

Mints require open soil with summer moisture. Given these conditions they can run away so should be planted where this is desired or in large pots.

Cultivation/Fertiliser

Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed will keep it looking its best. Cut back annually to keep under control.
