Minty Fresh
If you grow mint it never stops growing. It grows tall, spreads out and the aroma is great. You can chop it and then use it for several things.
- Brew fresh mint tea: add some leaves to a cup of boiled water, let it diffuse and add a little sugar. It tastes great and is good for digestion.
(Itsu in London charges about £3 for a pot of this = $6.90 Canadian for some minty goodness)
- Add it to a jug of water and drink hint o' mint flavoured water. You can also do this with cucumbers and oranges for a nice summer twist to your usual water jugs with lemon.
- Add it to your meatball/hamburger recipe. I think this is the ingredient that makes Momma Dolce's meatballs so great.
- Add a few sprigs to any other sauces you may be making or mix a little in with your pesto dish.
- Mince it up and use it on your bbq'd lamb
- Use in a fresh tomato and cucumber salad with basil
Am sure you can make some kind of cosmetic concoction but for now I will stick to the mint tea with sugar.
