We'd use it for mint tea, but also for when we were waiting for someone to come pick us up, she'd pick some leaves and rub them on my wrists for "perfume". Thanks for the memories.

And since I happen to have some growing out on the deck, I may have to give this a try. Although, I only have one teapot, not three or four. ;) And only two different sets of teacups and saucers, but neither are as pretty as yours. Wait, I do have one more special set given to me by my grandmother. I think that's the one I'll use. :) Your posts are always so interesting.
