Mint, mehtha spicata, is an ancient herb going back to the beginnings of history. Greek athletes used mint as an after-bath lotion; in the Middle Ages it was used as a cleaning agent, and later to purify drinking water. Sonoma Syrups Co. infused this syrup with fresh spearmint leaves to give you the true refreshing mint taste. The classic taste of spearmint was inspired by a large mint patch in the company's Sonoma Valley garden, capturing the flavor in a bottle, year round. * 12.68 oz. bottle * Use in food or drinks
