Peppermint geranium, left, and mint rose geranium both smell like mint and provide a great scent for the windowsill. There are nice houseplants called St. John’s mint (Micromeria brownei) and Jamaican peppermint (Satureja viminea).
What Herb is similar to mint?
Mint’s closest cousin is basil. Basil has similar refreshing flavors like mint, but it also has a peppery sweetness to it. The World of Food and Wine suggests substituting one tablespoon of chopped fresh basil for every one tablespoon of fresh chopped mint if you are making either a sweet or savory dish.
What can I use instead of mint in a mojito?
No mint leaves? Try substituting basil, rosemary, cilantro, or jalapeno. You could also use a mint-flavored liqueur, mint bitters, or even a peppermint tea bag. Avoid mint extract or essential oil – they are both too concentrated and strong.
