Again, I read recipes for ‘mint’ but doesn’t say peppermint or spearmint. There is a VAST difference in the flavor - can anyone tell me why the type of mint is never specified. Help!

Hi Cheryl,

I think choosing the type of “mint” is really based on personal preference. I typically see spearmint at my local farmers market. Whatever your tastebuds prefer, that’s what I’d opt for!
