Drink lots of Pimms - pre-empt summer.
Lots of recipes use mint - home made tzadziki (sp?), mint sauce, liven up new pototoes, some stir fries, just do a bit of googling.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Mojito cocktails - nice as the weather is getting warmer! I make cupcakes in this style as well, which I garnish with fresh mint when I have it.Swagbucks Amazon gift vouchers 2014 125/250

MINT SAUCE
Making your own mint sauce doesn’t make sense economically, unless you grow your own mint. A bunch of mint costs 65p, a jar of mint sauce can cost as little as 25p. However, before you buy it, read the ingredients on the jar.
INGREDIENTS
A large bunch of mint
50g of sugar
150ml of malt vinegar
METHOD
Wash the mint. Shake off any excess water.
If you have a food processor, put all the ingredients in it and process them until the mint is finely chopped.
If you have a hand blender, put all the ingredients in a bowl and blend them until the mint is finely chopped.
If you don’t have a food processor or hand blender, finely chop the mint by hand. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Leave for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve completely.
ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES
Use granulated, caster or brown sugar.
PS. I hope the plant is in a pot. Mint spreads like Triffids. Even in a pot, it'll send out suckers.If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

This! I wish someone had told me before I (in my wisdom) planted it in the ground. It's been planted for around 5 years, it's killing the grass on the lawn and no amount of weeding kills it. My plan is to move house :rotfl:0 -

I love the sound of Mint and berry jam!!
will look into the courgette soup too xx

Digging the bigger bits out and also using one of those "systemic" weedkillers should 'get it' ... in another 5 years.
Moving house may not work. It'll probably send out suckers and follow you.If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?

It's great in marinades, with baby potatoes, to make mint sauce used to decorate and as has been mentioned in drinks. There are lots more ideas in this thread:
What can I do with Mint?
I'll add this thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
