I've tried both and love both! I also like to mix some spearmint or peppermint leaves into plain tea or even water. Sometimes I put a few sprigs into my water bottle and put in the frig for a couple hours so it gets that minty taste.
Heather, it must be wonderful to work on an herb farm! I've always dreamed of doing that. The best I can do is have some pots of herbs on the patio.
