fresh mint
Aromatic culinary leaves
Fresh mint refers to mint leaves that are recently picked and unprocessed, as opposed to dried or preserved.
The qualifier distinguishes the herb's most aromatic state, valued in cooking and cocktails: The recipe calls for fresh mint, not dried.
Fresh mint appears in mojitos, tabbouleh, and as a garnish.
The phrase also names mint-flavored products meant to evoke that bright, clean taste.
