The taste is different when it's dried. Infused dry mint tastes like mint
tisane, infused fresh mint + green tea + lots of sugar tastes like mint tea.
I roughly cut and pound it before putting it in the pot. Well you're free to
prefer the tisane.
BTW, I'm finishing my mint tonight. I'm going away for a week and the rainy
season is so dry this year that my balcony's herb garden will probably dry
up in my absence.
