Anything to do with Peppermint TeaBags?

Is there anything I can make with peppermint tea bags other than peppermint tea? No one in our house likes it and they have been in the back of the cupboard for ages.

Thanks.

    How about using them in a big bowl of hot water as a foot soak? Could be a cheap way of pampering yourself!

    Maybe it could be made & cooled and used as a mouthwash?

    Open them up and use as mint in cooking. Tastes fine.

    Have you tried the mint in a curry? Adds an unusual twist. Also use to flavour peas when cooking if you like that kind of thing;
    I would have gone for the foot soak thing too.

    Thanks. I never really get time to sit and soak my feet. I might try them in a curry or in the bath :)

    I put some peas in a blender once with mint and it was yummy.
    Or try Jamie oliver's pea, prawn and mint risotto - yum too.
    Had mint tonight in my lamb and aubergine stew.
    You could freeze it into ice cubes for a refreshing addition to a cold drink, not that its cold drink weather really...
