Blogwatch: Fresh Mint Tea
Gillian Carson of My Tiny Plot reminds us all just how civilized drinking tea can be with this couldn't-be-simpler recipe for mint tea. It's especially nice when you can say, like Carson does, "Aaah, that’s nice, and, gosh, aren’t I clever because I actually grew it myself." If you aren't growing mint, try it. It's almost impossible to kill because it is so highly invasive.
As the days get muggier, this refreshing drink (whether made hot or cold, with honey or without) is the perfect thing to have by your side.

It's only fair to warn people that if they plant mint, take steps to protect the rest of their garden, or next summer, they'll have nothing but mint. You'll never get rid of it!
Try to plant mint (and its relatives) in a place where the roots can't sneak underground and take over your flower garden.

Great advice kevster! Maybe I should have taken steps to warn people just HOW highly invasive it can be. I've seen it happen myself and those underground rhizomes aren't pretty, nor easy to deal with.
