More broadly I think it’s a family of plants including other species like oregano. It’s also a species that can be grown or found (wild mint). Chiles are not an herb. We grow a lot of them here in New Mexico. Technically I guess they are a fruit but we don’t really call them fruits or vegetables - just chiles. Anyway I really like the ideas you put forward here especially the warmth / heat damage from chiles.

I know that chiles aren't an herb. They are a pepper (yes, that would technically be a fruit). I am not crazy. Thanks about the mint though, I wasn't sure if it was an herb or a tree/shrub leaf. Sorry about that. I misunderstood what you were saying.

@Recneps: There are different ways you can define herbs. I think Minecraftmage113 was referring to herbs in a culinary sense, because this is a suggestion about drinks. Are you talking about the botanical definition, i. e. herbaceous plants vs. woody plants? Either way mint is an herb.

I was refering to ground herbs versus those that come from trees.
