What to do with Mint?

In a pitcher of tea

Put mint in a red sauce. Use it with lamb, in mayonnaise with fresh cucumber and grilled salmon sandwich. Get a bunch of it together and infuse a simple syrup for sweet tea, or as a reduction for making ice cream or a sorbet.

Freeze a leaf or two in an ice cube. Use in tea or lemonade.

Pea puree.

Start with frozen peas and cook them as normal, tossing in a little garlic. Strain, and reserve the liquid. Take some of your chopped mint and add it to the peas along with some of the liquid for the desired consistency, salt and pepper, then hit it with a stick blender adding slightly more liquid until you get the desired consistency.

Very easy to make, and it goes great with a nice thick pork chop.
