Can corsican mint be used in tea?

I am growing it inside under lights for the winter and it has gotten leggy, I hate to waist the cuttings.
Mint tea is my favorite,I grow and dry several types ,but the corsican does not look like a ''real''mint.

Odd that yours is getting leggy. My reference books indicate it is best grown in shade or a container as a low growing ground cover. It looks like a pretty plant!

I find no reference to tea but they do say it is a strong mint. Worth trying tea as long as you need to trim it.

Might even use it in a steeping kettle to put moist fragrance into the winter air.

I am not sure why it is getting leggy, I have it with my indoor succulants,maybe it is the water. I keep it in a tray of water because it hates to dry out.
I'm going to try it for tea.
I like the fragrance idea too.
Thanks

I did a quick search and didn't find any references to using it in tea, other than a note that it doesn't dry well (those tiny leaves -- no wonder!), but one site I came across mentioned that Corsican mint is used to flavor liquors, so I'd think it would be fine for tea also.

Experiment with it, Gus! And if we don't hear from you for a few days, we'll call 911...

well I tried the tea. Not as good as chocolate mint.
The smell was nice but lacked in flavor.
Oh well it is rather small ,not really worth messing with,for tea ,but a pretty plant.

After Critterologists' comment about it being used to flavor liquors, I wonder it it takes something in the liquor to draw the flavor out.

Hmmm... well at least your plant got a haircut. LOL

With that strong scent, maybe it would work to just toss the trimmings into a potpourri dish the next time your plant needs a haircut.

Thanks for the report. I was hoping for a fabulous new discovery, of course... but a "don't bother with it" report is also much appreciated!

Corsican mint was the original mint used for Cremé de Menthé.
