Cooking Tips

- To preserve the freshness of mint leaves, store them in a glass of water like a bouquet of flowers and keep them in the refrigerator. This will keep them crisp and vibrant for longer.

- When using mint in salads or garnishes, tear the leaves instead of chopping them with a knife. This helps release more of the herb's natural oils and flavors.

- For a quick and easy mint sauce, simply mix chopped mint leaves with a splash of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. It's a perfect accompaniment for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
