Spearmint leaf tea

Spearmint (Mentha spicata)is one of the most common edible 
plants of the mint family. Spearmint is often used in cold 
drinks and juleps and to impart a delicate aroma to fruit 
salads, meats, new potatoes, peas, jelly, vinegar and sauces. In 
addition to many traditional culinary uses for Spearmint, 
ingenious cooks have created some unusual delicacies. 

For 
example, Indians in New England would roast mint leaves, then 
salt and eat them. They would also dry their meats in layers 
with mint leaves in between. Cosmetically, Soearmint can be used 
as a soothing bath herb, an ingredient for facial steams, and as 
an astringent for gently cleaning oily skin. Spearmint possesses 
properties similar to Peppermint, but it is milder and more 
fragrant and is usually preferred over peppermint by children
