    Congradulations on your second book . Mint is an amazing plant and is super easy for anyone to grow even in a pot on a city flat window .i am fortunate to have a place that I can encourage nature to provide an abundance of healthy foods and medicines. I sometimes have visitors that i walk the land with that show me new plants to add to my knowledge. I love the folklore especially this one i shall remember her each time i see or use mint .thank you for sharing

Abundant of them, my daughter likes to dip them in the melted chocolate, I dried them for tea, eat them fresh in the salad, mix them with watermelon, and use them foe all kinds of soup. Our favorite is shiitake mint egg drop soup.

    Should warn people!, ..I bought one small mint plant from the grocery store garden center, and now I'm having to deal with it taking over the garden! Maybe I should do as one woman commented and put it in a pot because of that. On the other hand, I feel that the mint I have in my combo tea really seems to open up my lungs, so that I'm not breathing as shallowly as I used to. : )

I use your recipes very frequently and it has taught me the ways of foraging + processing foraged foods. Also, your passion for wild foraging really shines through. This is why I bought your first book on Amazon. I'm from the Netherlands and I hope to enjoy some of your stinging nettle recipes this week. I'll also try to forage some wild mint, when I find it.

    Just please, please plant it in a container. Don't plant mint in the ground unless you want it to be EVERYWHERE FOREVER.. The previous occupants of my house planted mint in the yard, and it's a constant battle to keep it from invading and engulfing everything. It sneaks into potted plants, pops up between pavers, and is nearly impossible to get rid of.
