- With our own tiny herb garden, we have the good fortune to cultivate a large variety of fresh herbs for use in culinary and beverage preparation. Mint grows so easily in a pot that it’s a great herb to have on hand for culinary purposes. You may always have a tiny pot on hand! Since mint spreads quickly and takes over the entire garden, most gardeners advise growing it in a container instead of outside space!
- It’s actually very simple to make simple syrup using mint. First, mix equal amounts of white sugar and water and heat till boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint leaves when the sugar and water have boiled. After letting the mint leaves steep in the heated syrup until they’re cool, filter them out!
