Abundance of mint any ideas what to do with it

Chop up some mint, pour hot water over it, add a dash of lemon juice and a spoon of honey. Stick it in the fridge. Serve cold. Enormously refreshing on a hot day.

I made mint wine about 2 years ago, bottled it and stuck it in the barn. Perhaps now is the time to try it!!

I make apple and mint jelly which is fabulous with any meat. Will dig out the recipe if you want it?

Moroccon mint tea is lovely! If you have some green tea bags/leaves spare to add to the mint...

* In a teapot, combine two teaspoons of green tea leaves with half a litre of boiling water. Allow it to steep for at least fifteen minutes.

* Without stirring, filter the mixture into a different stainless steel pot, so that the tea leaves are removed.

* Add sugar (about one teaspoon per decilitre).

* Bring to boil over a medium heat. This important step in the preparation process allows the sugar to undergo hydrolysis, giving the tea its distinctive taste.

* If desired, add fresh mint leaves to the teapot or directly to the cup. Remember to remove the mint within two minutes, as it can give some people acid reflux.

mixture of dried Rosemary and Mint leaves in muslin bags makes good moth repellants I'm told. I have plenty Rosemary just need to encourage the mint a bit more as I have a few bags of wool that need protection.
Otherwise I'd dry it for future sauce/tea, make apple & mint jelly and freeze some sprigs in ice cubes for drinks

I bottle vodka
8 ozs sugar
a half-dozen decent sprigs of mint

Do the obvious - get creme de menthe with attitude

Now THAT'S a plan. How long do you leave it for? Will 5 minutes do, or do I need patience?
