Among the most important herbs for desserts are: anise, mint, peppermint, orange, basil, thyme, wild thyme, rosemary, lemon balm, marjoram, angelica, rue, sage, wormwood less henna, lime, horehound, mallow, hawthorn knapweed, yarrow, etc.

    Well, just like the article said, I only thought that herbs could make salty dishes, and I didn?t know that there were so many herbs, I actually don?t recognize some of them, but this is interesting, I hope to include them more often because herbs can make very special to a normal dish.

    Hmm…I really like herbs, and I really like trying new things. Some of these recipes sound a little…scary, but I guess that’s what motivates me to want to try them even more. I know already that I don’t like anise, so I won’t try that one, but the other recieps sound really interesting, like the herbs liquor.
