E ve r yth i n g i s Mi nt It’s summer and that means that fresh mint is abundant and ready to be incorporated into dishes and drinks alike. But, no matter how ambitious of a cook you may be, it seems like fresh mint seems to wilt before its essential oils are gobbled up. We have gathered a few recipes to help you along the way. Tip: Trim the ends of mint stems and place them in a small glass of water . Place a plastic bag around the top of the leaves (like a tent). Store the mint in the refrigerator to extend its shelflife.
