Fresh spearmint leaves are available all year. Choose spearmint leaves that are fresh, and bright green with a spearmint scent. Avoid wilted, yellow leaves or stems that have begun to flower. At home, wash the leaves in clean running water, pat dry, and store in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator for use within a few days. Dried spearmint is often used to prepare tea or other drinks. To dry, mint leaves are spread on the plastic sheet and dried under shade. Dried spearmint should be stored in airtight containers in cool place away from sunlight.
