Ten Things to do with Mint

1 - Brew a gently fragrant tisane/tea!  (good for the digestion)

2 - Mint jelly and mint sauce, both wonderful with lamb

3 - Mint juleps!!!

4 - Lavishly toss shredded mint leaves into a fresh fruit salad for a cool treat

5 - Stir into a chilled pea soup, for a springtime delight

6 - Hang a sprig in the shower for a spa-like experience

7 - Muddle into a glass with a bit of sugar and a few berries, add some sparkling white wine. Seasonal fun!

8 - Carefully dry some leaves to use in sachets. Mixed with lavender it makes for a lovely sleep pillow.

9 - Mint ice cream? Steep the mint leaves in the cream or milk before preparing this tasty dessert.

10 - Add a few sprigs of mint (and any other herbs in your garden) to a wildflower arrangement for a spicy note!
