  Chocolate Mint
Botanists know this herb as mentha piperita var. "Chocolate". We know it as CHOCOLATE MINT. This beautiful mint family member's scent actually has hints of chocolate. Chocolate mint reaches its full color potential when grown in full sun. If this herb is grown in partial shade, its fragrance will be the same, but its color will be pure green. Chocolate mint is a great alternative to traditional mint as a garnish and in recipes. Try infusing cream with chopped chocolate mint. Strain it and whip for flavored whipped cream. Or whip further into a chocolate mint butter.
