Bright, refreshing, and welcome on a hot Missouri July afternoon, peppermint and spearmint do quiet, useful work when the weather turns humid. Packed on our farm in the Ozarks.
Crush a little spearmint leaf into a mason jar of cold lemonade for an extra dose of zest. Slip a peppermint tea bag into your water bottle and plain hydration turns into something worth sipping. And for tired summer feet, a quart of strong peppermint stirred into a foot soak leaves a cooling, soothing feel behind.
When the porch fan isn't quite enough, a little mint goes a long way. For more warm-weather sipping, our Summer Tea Blends collection keeps things cool all season.
