Meet the original source of the flavouring know from toothpaste, mouthwash, and chewing gum - the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata). This plant thrives in shady spots in the garden during the summer. The distinctive taste and scent comes from the naturally occurring chemical R-(-)-carvone. The taste of genuine spearmint is far richer and more complex than its artificially flavoured version, and spearmint plants have been bred to have many different shades of flavour such as “chocolate mint” and “pineapple mint”. It’s an excellent tea herb and it combines well with many other fresh herbs from the garden. There is medical research supporting spearmint’s herbal medicine uses for digestive system issues and antimicrobial properties.

Mint Leaves
"No! What are you doing?" Lily admonished, smacking Sirius's hand away from the cauldron he had set up on the coffee table in the common room.
“What’s your problem, Lil? I’m making more of that painkilling potion you showed me.” Sirius snapped. 
Lily looked at him for a moment and her expression softened. “For Remus?”
“What?” Sirius said, distracted. 
“Is the potion for Remus?”
“Yeah. How did you-”
She waved him away. “Let me see. I don’t think it’s supposed to be that color.”
Sirius looked at it more closely and sighed. “Yeah. You’re probably right.”
Lily moved her wand over the mixture slowly, scanning the potion to see what ingredients he’d used. “You forgot the mint leaves.”
“Oh. Shit, you’re right.” Sirius said, picking up the fragrant leaves and handing them to Lily.
“We can put them in now, it won’t ruin it.” Lily said, sprinkling them into the cauldron. “Give it five clockwise stirs.”
Sirius nodded obediently. Lily’s knowledge of potions was uncanny and she was hardly ever wrong.
"You're really thoughtful, you know that?" she said, quietly.
"Don't tell anyone." Sirius said with a smile.

Magian Milcery and Alcremie!
The Cream Pokémon
Both are Fairy Type
Milcery was born from sugary particles in the air condensed into cream. Milcery were first discovered in Magia when one appeared in a patisserie shop, found in a can of freshly churned cream.
No one is sure how they came to be. One theory posits that the cream they were born from had special magical properties that gave them sentience and form.
They say that Milcery were originally from Magia
Like it’s Galarian counterpart, Milcery evolves into Alcremie while holding a Sweet.
However, in lieu of requiring its Trainer to spin and strike a pose, they instead need to cast a spell.
They can still do the spinning and posing trick, which will result in it turning into its Galarian forms, but Magian Alcremie are special in that they can turn into six different forms separate from the originals. 
The form it evolves into depends on the time of day and/or the environment.
Its cosmetic appearance is further determined by the type of Sweet that is held, mostly it’s eye color and mix of aromas. 
When it is content, Alcremie secrets a sweet syrupy substance from its body. Sweet makers use this in a variety of different pastries and candies.
It tastes and even smells different depending on the form it takes. This is because of the way its cells spontaneously shift during evolution.
The senses of taste and smell are very much connected.
Flavors:
Pumpkin Spice- early morning/chilly
Its flavor is an aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger
Butterscotch Cream- afternoon/warm
Its flavor is bitter, but pleasantly sweet. Butterscotch is said to be similar to caramel, but with the addition of butter
Peppermint Cream- midnight/snow
It’s flavor is sharp, crisp, and��slightly bitter with spicy notes.
White Chocolate- night/cool temperatures
It’s flavor is sweet and buttery with hints of vanilla and fresh milk. 
Milk Chocolate- evening/room temperature
It’s flavor is sweet and chocolatey, with notes of cooked milk and caramelized sugar and a vanilla aftertaste
Dark Chocolate- midday/high temperatures
It’s flavor is a combination of sweet, bitter, and sour with a more pronounced chocolate taste.
Candies: 
Cinnamon sticks- brown
Marshmallows- pale
Mint leaves- green
Raspberries- pink
Candy corn- orange
Fondant Roses- lavender
