You just gave me a use for the absolute POLLUTION of mint in my yard! That stuff will take over, if you don't plant it in a container!
No hate, but don’t ever waste money on mint. It will grow like crazy in pots, the mulch bed outside your apartment, or some random part of a park that no one uses. Like one seedling and you’re good for life.
@@rtmordecai1 so true, but he's away from home travelling so I'm guessing he has to purchase what he can. And its a good price for where he is for a full plant.
@@1HOURLIST don’t click this link yall. It’ll take you to some music lol. NOT a part 2.
@@PlayAndRage +Report for spam.
If you ever get settled again, try growing some mint. It's incredibly easy, in fact most gardeners have to confine it to a container so it won't take over the garden
Absolutely! mint is a nightmare if you plant it in a place where it can run wild.
For real, planted it in a herb garden and went on holidays for a few weeks… Came back and had taken over everything
the only reason we treat mint differently from other weeds is that it smells and tastes good. but it is a weed. It'll expand and choke out your other plants if you plant it in the same garden
Yep🙃 folks who lived here before us planted (intentionally) lemon balm EVERYWHERE. Can’t even dry it because it tastes like yerba tea after it’s been dried. Only gave us one lil patch of spearmint lmao
@@katefernoliver blergh I hate lemon balm
why is no one talking about how he got the shot IN the salad spinner😭😭
🤣💀
Camera salad.
Because that’s exactly why he did it
Let me guess, he put a camera inside?
All I could think about is how much dirtier whatever he put in there is than the mint
I’m surprised mint is expensive, it grows so easily! Maybe that’s just my region, I don’t know how mint does it hotter climates. I’ve been thinking of doing this with basil since I’ve been watching this series! I’ve been growing a few different varieties including tulsi and Thai basil. Soooooo good 😌
i live in a tropical country and it grows pretty easily here 🤷♀️
It’s handling this crazy hot summer so it’s probably fine. The mint here has survived years without taking care of it. It’s gone through over 100 degree weather and close to -20 degrees. The weather in this part of the us is all over the place and mint handles it all just fine.
@@ducktsu7767 I live in tropical country too, but every single time I tried to grow some it would just got longer and longer while the leaves fell one by one until it has no leave left 😅 I'm not sure how to describe it.
I've tried pruning it but it didn't work, I really don't know where I did wrong
Here in northern Nevada I've only been able to keep mint and apple trees alive in the ground long term. Everything else fries in the sun with or without shade screen, or dies due to extremely alkaline and salty soil.
I've grown mint very easily at 48°C in a terracotta pot. Just placed it in a slightly shaded area so it got filtered sunlight during the peak 12pm. But got direct sunlight in the evenings
Mint is a weed where I live, to think of paying for it..
yh lmao i can walk like 20 metres from my house and find a shit ton of it
Same 😂
Yh, same here. Wheneveri.need some i literallyjust pop outside. Also brambles ( blackberry bushes) everywhere and yet supermarkets sell the berry's for an extortionate amount of money.
You should do something with it then sell it.
@@phreezleva4568 how tf would you sell something that grows everywhere anyone can go and pick
Mint for 7 bucks lol 😆 I'm so happy to have it growing all around in my garden
Lol, you say that NOW. It is taking over your garden. Don't believe me? Pull a chunk up and look how far the runners go. Good luck.
@@ambrr_lily I'm happy if it does! 😊 The part where it is growing isn't used for anything else, and it hasn't been spreading for over 5 years outside of the part it seems to like the most. It smells and looks magnificent and needs little to no care. Love mint ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@@ambrr_lilySome people don't care if mint takes over their garden.
First thought was strawberry lemonade with mint syrup 😍
ohhh.... a lavender MINT lemonade 💜 sounds great too...
“At first it didn’t seem possible but it just kept going in” That’s what she said
This guy feels like he comes from the richest, poshest of families.
Why? Because of his accent?
@@jacobsed6665 that and everything he does and the places he goes. He might not be it just feels like he is.
he does, saw one of his shorts where he casually mentions his parents have some kind of a farm or vinyard from where he gets his fruits or something like that
How? He legit says he couldn't justify buying it for over 7 bucks.
@@timdeathly read previous replies maybe???
Started trying this method for a few different things yesterday! Chamomile, Rose Petals, and loads of spearmint. The rose cheong is already more liquid than anything else and it’s absolutely beautiful. Smells divine and tastes even better. I’m convinced it’s magic. The chamomile hasn’t done much yet. I pressed it down a bit more today just to see and it is starting to dissolve the sugar just very slowly of course. Smells bitter than the normal sweet apple smell which is interesting. The spearmint has lots of syrup already as well. Smells even stronger than it does if you massage a leaf between your fingers and also tastes near overwhelmingly minty. Very very concentrated flavor which will certainly make it last longer. I do want to try the pine needle one too but I’m not sure what’s edible here yet. I want to try to make a pineapple pork and pine dish with that. Not sure quite what yet but it sounds tasty 😋
Next time I make mint syrup I’ll massage the leaves down a bit more to bruise it. Can fit wayyyyy more in the jar that way and jump starts the sugar dissolving. I started with 1 large jar and 2 little ones with the mint syrup and was able to fit them all into the one large jar with plenty more room after they’d softened up naturally.
Sounds lovely, especially the rose petals. I reckon it would work beautifully with hibiscus petals as well.
the camera inside the spinning thing
"weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-"
Yay! I finally have something to do with the forest of mint in my backyard, thanks :)
Lmao imagine paying for mint 🤣
It literally grows wild in PA, I used to make mint sweet tea every summer.
I have orange mint, chocolate mint, mojito mint, and spearmint! I will be trying this with them 😍 especially the orange mint 😍
Yesssss I have those too! I think the orange mint is my favorite. I also started collecting basil varieties too this year. So crazy how different they all are! I got tulsi, Thai, licorice, and lemon basils
I have strawberry mint! It's always fun to find a fellow mint collector.... Lol
"It just kept going in"
😂😂 That's what she said😂😂
Mint is one of the easiest plants to grow, you could always have mint on standby if you plant some, almost no effort to keep it alive & you get to benefit from its usefulness :))
I'm always amazed at how much weed I can stuff into a little jar too, gets me every time....
Future references, mint grows like a weed, fast and almost impossible to kill.
I've never heard mint this many times in less than a minute
A bunch of it grows in my backyard like a bunch of weeds almost, and it gets worse yearly lmao
The salad spinner shot straight out of Interstellar lol
“Spending so much on mint” dude you know that stuff grows like weeds right
Ya right! I just commented the same 😅
Mint is so easy to grow as well, minimal requirements and very prolific.
“ I couldn’t justify spending so much on mint” Just grow your own
That salad spinner shot pog asf
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much ❤.
Where I come from, you literally find mint growing in your backyard lmao
"It just kept going in " ~ johnny 2022
Mint is sooo easy to grow 🌱
Mint grows wild in the pastures here
Mint is essentially an aggressive weed. We planted it one time in our garden and over one season we had it take over the 4x4 plot and spill into the grass. Put it in a 3 gallon pot and keep it watered and you will have all the mint you need or could ever use.
Grow mint in a container, it’s super easy! Buy a small plant at a local nursery and put it in a larger pot immediately and it will fill the pot over time. You can cut it back over and over and it will keep growing back
If you were to plant one of those stems it'll grow furiously into unlimited mint.
Make a mojito with it when your done
I have giant bushes outside my back door because mint keeps away flies.....
Put a few of those stems in some water ..in a few days you should get roots along the stem...Plant it in a pot with some good potting soil,plant outside when it stays warmish at nights in a semi shaded protected spot that gets filtered sun or morning sun.Cover your bed with some finely shredded mulch (About 2-3 inches,and don't allow the bed to dry out) it will spread by "runners" underneath the mulch and you'll have your own mint growing in no time.It may die back in the cold,but it will come back if you add extra mulch after the dieback or cover on sever cold times with an old quilt.
The phone in the salad spinner was just like the interstellar trailer
This is a lesson on economics. Mint grows wild here where I live. It’s like a weed.
Johnny: I didn't think I could fit all this mint in there but it just kept going in.
Me: That's what she said!
Mint grows like mad on the side of my house....free!
Turning fresh mint into a jar of washed mint with sugar on top
I have a lot of mint in my garden, I will definitely do this too. Thanks! I was only wondering whether you know how long do these kind of syrups last till they expire?
I don't think it's recommended to keep it for too long coz bacteria grow on them. Maybe 3 mth to 6 mth max?
No one is talking about how fIng good that salad spinner is. Like getting shit 99% dry thats is a good ass feature. I NEED this.
I planted mint in my backyard. The stuff grows like crazy. I bought a little mint plant from the grocery store for less than $3, and within a year I had ten times that.
He said mint so many time it sounds like a weird noise/word to me now 😂😂
Mint is super easy to grow! You can actually propagate one of the stems and plant it, they grow like weeds!
I really appreciate him putting the camera INSIDE the salad spinner 😂👏
Mint reduces test
You can root the mint you buy in the store. It is an invasive plant and grows very fast
Mint grows everywhere
In Korean Natural Farming, this method is called fpj. The plant hormones are drawn out of the leaves and then they syrup is used as a foliar spray to encourage more vigorous plant growth. Of course that's a super generalized description but it's very interesting. All of the knf inputs are edible (tho some are nasty) and it's super interesting to see this process being used for consumption
Thank God I have mint in my garden
Everyone's talking about how easy min is to grow but we've had a mint plant in our backyard for years and its stayed the same size in the same little patch of dirt this whole time 🤔
Mint grows like a weed if you plant it. My grandparents own a stretch of Forrest next to a lake and there’s a lot of mint that grows next to the lake.
I'm SO happy you did this!! Thank you!!
Mint is super easy to grow. Window boxes work well.
Do you guys have farmers markets in Australia? Produce is quite a bit cheaper when you buy straight from the farmer or gardener... Or grow it yourself.
This is literally the same FPJ (fermented plant juice) you can use on your plants. Just dilute 1:100 or as concentrated as 1:30 depending on your crop.
Drink every time he says mint
I live in an apartment with a balcony and I've grown Spearmint, Chocolate Mint, Orange Mint and Peppermint consistently for 6 years. You can grow it super easily and if it seems to not be growing, give it full/partial sun, water weekly sometimes more(the leaves will curl when they're dehydrated), and prune the shit out of it. My mint produces so much when I pinch off all the bigger leaves leaving the baby sprouts under them growing on the vine.✨
The romans called this oleo sacrum, or sweet oils. The sugar withdraws the oils. This is, btw, how the best lemonades are made.
Mint grows wild in my backyard.
at this point I'm gonna call this guy *"Syrup Oppa"* even I don't even know the actual meaning
He's so handsome and his accent is 😍
Herbs growing like weeds! If you have even a small pot it’s so worth it.
Mint jelly in the supermarket
Best thing is to grow herbs yourself. Coriander, mints, garlic, curry leaves all are very convenient and less area consuming plants(at least in my local climate) . Just have to water them that's all and can be grown even near a window with natural sunlight.
It has more fresh and strong flavour than store-bought
We have wild mint growing for the last 20 years at my brothers place it’s beautiful
I grow my own mint. It
Grows wild. Cheaper than paying. Good luck on your syrup.
You can do the exact same thing with Mullein flowers and it’s a natural cough syrup for winter.
YESSSSS I love the spinning shot omg
I cook mint in water and sugar to make a simple syrup and use it on ice cream, cocktails and more!
Just so you know, mint is super easy to grow and will spread. Can also be put into pots
Mint is super easy to root even after a few days of it being off the plant just pour the cut end into water n a week later it will have roots maybe 2 weeks but it’s an invasive plant so it grows really really fast
You can get a mint plant and it'll spread and you'll have unlimited mint, you can do it with spearmint and other varieties as well
I've watch so many of these shorts but this is the one that made me subscribe
Any mint fan I tell to try Applemint...omg it's so good! Idk why apple is in the name because there's zero apple flavor..more of a sweet, extra gentle almost creamy flavor. Of course it's excellent in tea.
I miss my garden.
I geoq so much mint, I needed a new recipe!!
Imm try this and your other sugar recipes!
« I found a bunch of mint for 7 pounds »
Jokes on u I found it on the ground
That's literally the amount of mint you get for 1 dollar in Denmark
Mint is extremely prolific, semi shady area, best to be contained, water and the mint will never die
Mint is easy to grow. You'll never need to buy it again.
I'm actually about to start growing mint it's pretty easy to grow and can grow fast and crazy I remember being a kid landscaping with my dad and I would have to go pick weeds a lot of times we end up finding mint we would pick those and keep them of course the people that we were working for did not care they wanted it gone anyways so we would make tea out of it
I have a hand full of mint plants so this should be easy.
Run the stems of the mint through the inside to the outside of a colander, that will strip the leaves off quickly.
Here in Connecticut. You find mint everywhere. Side the the road, middle of the woods. It’s a weed.
It grows wild here!
When making mint jelly, crush it with sugar to get out the mintyness. Same like salt with garlic when you pure
Holy shit 7 bucks could buy you 5 kilos if mint here in morocco
Dude said "mint chung" and I immediately checked to see a Korean name
Wish I wasn’t so invested yet here I am lol
When you have loads of mint randomly growing in your garden 🤨
Omg you literally read my mind! I've been binging your channel and since my boyfriend is a mint fanatic and we're growing 2 different kinds, this question was forefront in my mind! Can't wait to see the results!
Same here, I'd love to preserve my mint somehow yearround especially for drinks.
"It kept going in" that's what she said
We have a mint bush we cant kill lol. Its good cause we always just make mint sauce whenever we make lamb, but sometimes it gets huge so we have at it with the weedwhacker. 2 weeks later, mint bush is back.
If you grow mint you gotta commit because that stuff is impossible to kill. We grew it for 8 years in the mojave up until we moved they were under a spigot that never got turned on in the shade, still got huge
There is a theory that mint can make a man impotence...
This guy: "let's make a mint soups...."
I NEED MY CORRECT MEDICATION
"I looked like it wouldn't fit but it kept going in"
I should call her
