The flavor of orange mint works best in fresh preparations. It can be chopped and used in fruit or grain salad, the minced leaves can be added to dressings, vinegars, jellies and sauces. The flavor plays well in cream, fruit and chocolate based dessert recipes like ice cream, crème brulee and tarts. Orange mint can be used as a flavor infuser for teas, cocktails, and lemonades. Whole leaves can even be used as garnish for sweet desserts or savory dishes.
