The Wonderful Uses of Mint

[Sill E. Mint 0]

What isn't there to love about mint? It tastes delicious, it freshens breath, and... uh.. and..

I got nothing.

Tell me some neat things you know about the wonderful little leaf known as Mint.

Hello!

 

Mint is a great little thing, though it's horrible for drinks... I think the most popular use for a mint would be Freshining up your breath, though let's not forget the fun little thing called "Diet Coke + Mentos"

 

Main use for me would be to freshen up the breath.

Mint is great for a lot of things. You can put it into candy, gum, and food as well. I can't think of any dishes with mint in it right now, but I know that it is used in food because I've eaten mint like that before.

I am a mint junkie, to be honest. I like all things mint. Candy (peppermint bark is the best), cake, ice cream, drinks, etc. Mint is refreshing and seems to liven up a lot of things. The mint julep is one of my favorite mixed drinks, and whenever I go to Cold Stone, Dairy Queen, or any similar establishment, I always get something minty. Mint teas are quite soothing, and mint flavored hot chocolates are good too, but it seems that any "mint" flavored coffee additives taste nothing like mint and are incredibly disgusting. Definitely would not recommend that anyone try those.

I love mint as well. Mint ice cream in fact is my favorite, and you will always see me chewing minty gum. However I don't like the actual cookery mint that you use... that is nasty

Shred some fresh or dried mint leaves and use it in all kind of food. Use fresh full leaves to decorate all kind of food. Give some shredded mint leaves (fresh or dried) to your cat and laugh at its reaction! (Most of cats react to mint and to olives like they do with catnip and as long as it's only in small quantities, it's not dangerous at all for them,)

My friend has a really cool edible plant. It has brown and green leaves. If you eat the leaves, they take like chocolate and mint.

Also, the McDonald's Shamrock Shake. Those things are awesome.

Yes!

 

I used to have a mint plant ! It was brilliant, I used to snack on the leaves all the time .

 

As a breath freshened I can't say there is anything better !

Mint is awesome! 

 

Main use for me would be to freshen my breath. 

 

I love mint ice cream, mint chocolate bars and polo mints! 

 

Mint is one of the best flavors on earth!

Umm how about Mento's and Cola they seem to make an awesome reaction when mixed together?

 

Mento's are mints? right??

Well, Mint is one of my favorite plants!
I use it on many purposes!
Like: Using it on tea "Makes it taste wonderful", Mint chocolate, Making lemonade.

Well, this is all uses i remember!

Mint is good for gum, mentos, and in desserts. And probably good for other uses, maybe for sticking two things together.

 

But, overall mint is a wonderful thing.

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

I love some mildly minty gum from time to time, and chocolate mint ice cream is so good!

I don't like too much mint though. It can get really....... minty

[Mephala 2,633]

If you crush cilantro and mint in ice and then put it on top of some really cold water...best summer drink ever. Try it.

I don't like mint sweets, though, whether it be chuddie or mints...it tastes really fake to me, and generally is unpleasant.

Edit: ooh, mint green tea is quite nice, especially when you're sick. I get this nice one from the local shops. Mm.

I love mint!  I love tic tacs and gum and such.  Actually, for the longest time, I liked tic tacs better than any kind of candy.  I'm kinda burned out on mint, but for a long time I liked minty better than sweet.

If I recall its used to help heal the body... and can help fight off colds.. or I'm think of something else but I'm sure its mint, and its really good with water and some sodas.
