Pennyroyal Mint was a typical delicacy for ancient Greeks and Romans, who used it to season food or to aromatize their wine. However, its popularity dwindled through the centuries. It has a sweet, floral fragrance and a slight cooling effect. Use small amounts to add a flavor reminiscent of spearmint to stews, soups, and salads. Great for cocktail syrups, such as our Pennyroyal Soda or Mojito.

To use as an herbal tea*, you’ll need 1 tsp (approximately 0.5g) per 250 ml cup. Brew for 5 minutes at 95°C and cover. Strain and serve.

* Avoid consuming during pregnancy and lactation without medical advice.

 For optimal quality, place in an airtight container in a drawer or cupboard. Properly storing your herbs is very important as it expands their life span. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity.
