OOOoooo! Reminds me of my sweet mother in law. Fresh mint leaves in sweeeet iced tea. As for other uses perhaps in a sachet bag (or netting) in a lingerie drawer? I honestly don't remember MIL using it for any other purpose. Thanks for the reminder. Mint is on my 'must plant' next year.
greeks use it in many ways, get info on line for different foods, like "cooking for greeks"
mint tea.
if you don't want it to take over, dig it up and put it in pots. Mint also keeps bugs away.
Lots of different mints. Most make teas. Use to flavor meat such as pork and lamb. Also make pretty ice cubes for drinks. Peppermint repels mice and ants.
Tea, and talk to someone who makes "fragrance oils" for ideas as to how to distill the oil from it.
Mojito cocktail. Delicious.
My mother used to make the most delightful Mint Juleps every evening before dinner in the summertime. Yum.
Thanks!
If someone has breathing problems or is ill boil water with some mint leaves , put a towel over the person and the bowl, it won't take long they'll be breathing. My daughter was severely asthmatic mint and spearmint leaves work great.
Mojitos! Iced green tea with mint.
