The mint is going wild so it’s time to revisit wise words from Elaine Corets and learn about all the ways she makes her famous minty drinks – from mojitos to sun tea.
Here’s how she makes her wonderful mojitos:
Go out into the garden and pick several sprigs of mint. For each drink you need eight leaves.
Next cut up half a lime per glass.
Crush the limes and the mint with a pestle.
Add a spoon of simple sugar syrup.
Add a shot glass of rum and two shot glasses of bubbly water and you are all set.
Elaine also makes a refreshing mint sun tea.
To make mint sun tea take garden mint in a jar of water and place in the sun for one day. That’s it!
Mint infused vodka can be made by soaking leaves in vodka for one week or until the desired strength of flavor is achieved.
Mint infused simple syrup for delicious mint juleps is also easy to make.
Mint ice cubes zip up any recipe. Elaine chops mint then freezes it.
Dried mint makes great tea.
I'd love to hear from you!
