Mint is the dried, rubbed leaves of the Mentha Spicata plant, a wonderfully aromatic herb. The first thing that springs to mind when we catch the scent is mint sauce and roast lamb or minty peas. Now, you can have a go at making your own sauces and flavourings for what ever you want! Use Mint to flavour tzatziki, add some to flavour drinks or make mint jelly. Many people use it to make a delicious tea which can help with digestion.
Mint was in use for sauces through much of Medieval Europe but has declined a lot since then. The UK still uses it for the aforementioned mint sauce, but you can also find it in recipes from Tunisia and India. Again, it tends to find most use in sauces and chutneys. We also have Peppermint in stock, which is another great option for making teas.
As with all herbs and spices, add a little at a time to get the flavour you want. You can always add more, but taking it out again can be impossible!
