Minty Fresh

To catch up from September....
I thought the frosts would be much earlier than then were. I read the first chance of frost would be Sept 15. I don't think we had one until well into October. Then it was back in the 60s and 70s until November.

None the less, I decided to harvest and dry the mint that grows by the front door.


I read, you can dry the mint stacked between paper towels and put in the oven with the light on overnight. I think it actually took a few days until I felt safe they were completely dry. So, I still haven't used any but I had been wanting to make Moroccan mint tea. You can also use mint in tzatziki. Maybe next year we will celebrate the Kentucky Derby with Mint Juleps.
