Black currant mint tastes like the berry and smells like candy—plant a small pot on the kitchen windowsill or in the garden bed nearest your back door. It reaches 12–18 inches tall and spreads readily, so give it room or keep it contained.

Pinch the stem tips often to encourage bushier growth and fresh leaves for tea, cocktails, or garnish. Water when the soil dries out and it will reward you with flavor all season long.
