Hello,
I'm wondering if there is an adjective in English that means "containing spices/herbs". Can I use the word 'spicy"? I've always thought it's a synonym of 'hot', so spicy food creates a burning feeling in your mouth.
A dish may contain lots of spices and herbs and have a piquant flavour, but remain not burning.
For example, mulled wine contains cinammon and clove, but it doens't burn your mouth. Can I describe it as a spicy drink?
Thank you!
