a couple of years ago,when i was on holiday with bolas & madge in miami we visited a herb & spice botanical garden that claimed(if i remember correctly) to have at least one variety of every known herb etc growing in it's grounds.i believe them,it was amazing!
one of the herbs we tasted was a choc chip mint.species not a hybrid,& it did taste just like an after dinner chocolate mint.
never seen it before or since until last week when i found it on the growing herbs section at tesco.bought a couple of pots.one for bolas's herb garden & one for my windowsill.
made a mojito on my return home to celebrate my find..the chocolate flavour was killer with the mint & lime!
never made anything else with this flavour mint(probably 'cos i'd "never seen it before or since"!),have any of you guy's?if so what?
