This looks great! Good luck controlling the mint, if you find the secret please share! Many years ago Country Living Mag posted a biscotti recipe that used fresh mint (ground in processor with sugar), that's a good way to use it up too-have fun!

Brandie - my neighbors aren't too interested in the mint.

Yummmm! I've been looking for mint to plant, thanks for the reminder. I will plant it in a secure location, so we don't have too much. (Mojitos Anyone?)

Stopping by from Tuesday Garden Party. i think it's really awesome that you grow mint. This is making me consider growing some myself in our garden. Happy to be your newest follower.

2010-05-18T19:23:48.386-04:00

Lesson learned... mint= ice cream; I like it! Boy is it ever an aggressive plant. I had some in a container, but it escaped and is now at various spots in the garden (through compost?). Seeing your picture is making me think I should go dig it out.

2010-05-18T19:08:24.006-04:00

We'll have to try this. I contained my mint in a flower planter, but what do you do with all of it? My boys love mint ice cream so I'm for sure going to keep this recipe around for when I dust off my ice cream maker.

2010-05-18T18:31:14.671-04:00

My mint has taken over as well - but at least it isn't in a container garden so we can just mow it over! I've never tired making ice cream with though - but we will remedy that situation soon! Thanks for the recipe!

2010-05-18T17:52:05.850-04:00

We just got an ice cream maker last Christmas and have been experimenting- this will be next on the list since I, too, have mint (in a big whiskey barrel, though!).

I'm so glad you shared and linked to the Tuesday Garden Party!

Yum! That sounds great! I recently purchased some mint at the farmers' market for some smoothies (great yummy recipe by the way). I decided to see if a piece would root in the back garden and it did! So I dug it up (since mint can be invasive) and put it in a large patio pot. So far so good!

I knew mint would take over my garden and I STILL planted some. Oh well. I've got lemon balm coming out of my ears! LOL! Great recipe! I've been thinking about making mint ice cream soon....I also saw a mint julep ice cream I'll try for the grown ups. :)

Carrie - that is so funny that the mint is still there 14 years later...you can't kill that stuff.

Queen of the House - I'm glad you found the mint tea recipe. you can never have too many recipes for mint! I too love the smell of fresh mint.
