Mint – Chocolate
A deliciously unique twist on classic mint, Chocolate Mint delights with subtle cocoa notes in both fragrance and flavour. Perfect for adding a chocolatey lift to desserts, brownies, hot chocolate, or even infused in cocktails and syrups. Vigorous and aromatic, it’s a fun and tasty addition to any herb garden.
Planting
• Where: Beds or containers in well-drained soil, in a bright, sunny position.
Care
• Watering: Keep well watered, as Chocolate Mint thrives in slightly damp conditions.
• Containment: Like all mints, it can spread aggressively, so best grown in pots or with root barriers.
Height & Spread
• Size: 40 – 100cm × 60 – 90cm.
Harvesting
• Leaves: Gently pick as needed, ideally in the morning when the aromatic oils are strongest.
• Tip: Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and more flavourful leaves.
Top Tips
• Culinary Uses: Perfect with chocolate recipes, desserts, teas, syrups, and cocktails.
• Aroma: Crush leaves gently to release the rich chocolate-mint scent.
• Containment: Keep contained to stop it taking over your garden.
