Hi, Miranda,
I agree with you that spearmint tea is very expensive here in the UK, I have resorted to a form of bulk buying to keep the cost down. Most of our supermarkets sell Mint & Spearmint which is no way as beneficial
I already grow a huge tub of mint and according to some horticultural links growing Spearmint is just as easy.
As to the consumption, you can dry them and make tea and even consume them as part of a salad. I have read that one NBE member actually chews them raw. Your $64K question I cannot answer as to whether they will release the necessary benefits we are looking for with regard to 'T' reduction.
This is very presumptuous of me but if anyone knows the answer on this forum Mistress-Lotus will do, I feel sure she must have been a chemist in her former life or is a professor in this one.
I will be reading the replies with great interest.
Good luck
Hugs
Heather
