Coyote Mint

[tuftears]

Someone spoke in a hangout recently about making a tea with mint, coyote mint, and a bit of catnip.

I commented, more or less, "Y'know, knowing Coyote, I suspect that coyote mint doesn't taste at all like mint, except that it leaves the mouth tingling." As in quite possibly, very, very spicy.

And then when one turns to address Coyote on the subject, he gives one a hurt look and says, "What? You wanted the tea to wake you up, didn't you? Well, didn't it?"

Sadly, there really is such a plant as coyote mint. But all is not lost as it apparently smells like toothpaste.

(Coyote grins.)

"New Coyote Mint—it's a beverage AND a mouthwash! And a floor topping. And a marital aid. And so much more!"

Reminds me of a story I wrote and never got published, wherein 'Coyote carrots' are in fact dried red peppers. Poor Fox.
