Love Mint? Preserve Fresh Mint in Ice Cubes
Do you like mint? I love using it in my iced tea.
I have a beautiful apple mint growing in my garden, but winter is not its best season. Because I want to enjoy fresh mint in the winter, I decided to freeze some mint leaves in ice cubes.
My granddaughter, Lily helped me pick some mint from the garden.
Preserving mint is easy to do and I have enough to last me through the winter, ready for my favorite beverage.
To learn how to preserve mint, check out my latest blog post for Birds & Blooms – “Preserve the Taste of Summer With Mint Ice Cubes”.

Oh yum – I could put some in Pimms and lemonade and pretend it's summer in the middle of winter. Great idea!
Well that was easy enough! I have lavender mint, and just think how fun it would be to enjoy it in my tea in mid winter. Thanks for the idea.
