@NeuroWinter yes! It has a lovely chocolate + mint flavor. It makes for a magnificent addition to iced tea, or a delightful mojito. Here's a good link: http://www.organicauthority.com/organic-gardening/10-growing-tips-and-uses-for-chocolate-mint.html
@jannamark how do you get chocolate and mint in the same plant? (same question, though less enthusiastically, about lemon and thyme)
@DialMforMara In much the same way that zinfandel wine often has the flavor of raspberries and pepper. On a chemical level, the food item (mint, thyme, zinfandel) contains compounds similar enough in shape to stimulate the same sensory receptors in the same way.
@jannamark chocolate mint?!?
