What to do with lots of mint!

[SarrissUK]

Tabbouleh! Make tabbouleh! It's the bestest salad ever! I love to eat it on its own too - no need to add chicken or ham or anything.

The BBC good food recipe is really good, but there's literally thousands of versions.

It's supposed to be very lemoney, minty couscous with fresh veg. I often add mint sauce along with the fresh mint, so you can use both! Yum yum!

Try this VC. It doesn't use a lot of mint but you'll be able too make it this year

Don't think I can grow a pineapple.

Don't think I can grow a pineapple.

Not even in sunshiny South Wales .

Only in a good year - and I don''t think 2019 is one.

Of course you can grow it. You just need tonnes and tonnes of manure and someone else to keep shovelling it for 2 years.

Like already mentioned, chopped in a salad.

I use mine to make mint green tea. Sadly, my applemint seedlings died more are being sown.

Kitty, PM me your address and I'll send you some applemint cuttings that will be quicker than seed.

We do:-

�� Add to Tea when making/blending own tea.
�� When eating strawberries whether with ice cream or yoghurt, top it off with mint.
�� finely chapped in salads.

Kind Regards.............Rob

If you have an ant problem, i.e, coming into your house, pick the mint, put into a pan of cold water. Then bring to the boil, then put on a slow simmer, until you can smell the mint. Then leave the minty water to cool, decant into 'spray bottles' to spray onto your work surfaces, then wipe. You can also use the water to use as a floor wash.

Will be watching this thread very closely.
Like VC I have rather a lot of mint and no idea what to do with it
I'm about to google some of the ideas that have already been mentioned.

Surely there must be some chilli/mint recipes!

How about Cuy in a aji huacatay sauce made with chillies and Peruvian Black Mint?

Very Peruvian
