Fresh Mint

[shyvas]

Fresh mint is in season and can be used in various savoury and sweet recipes. You can also freeze or dry it if you buy it in bulk.

I use it for making smoothies, finely chopped with fresh strawberries, tabouleh, finely chopped with
Jersey royals or as an infusion etc.

It also has a few health benefits and can help relieve indigestion.

I'm also planning to make this recipe because I like coconut milk and fresh mint.

Oh I look forward to hearing how that goes. It sounds like a fantastic combo (although I tend to have coconut in some form or another in just about every recipe these days).
