Mint Basil is considered a great herb because it combines the refreshing, cool flavor of mint with the sweet, savory notes of basil, creating a unique and versatile flavor profile that can enhance a wide range of dishes, from salads and teas to cocktails and pestos, while also being relatively easy to grow in the garden; essentially offering the best of both worlds in a single herb.
