Whats Your Favourite Mint

[Veedaz]

This has nothing to do with computing

Not sure what you have in the US but here in the UK we have a few different sorts of mints and my favourite is POLO and I get 2 packets a week ... love um ... do you like Mints ?

Fresh mint! In a Mojito.

Muddled and added to a glass with light rum, sugar, club soda, lime and ice.

That sounds good to me Yodap :top:

I'm for POLO as well. POLO spearmint actually.

"The mint with the hole". The mint which get stuck around my tongue!

 

[Veedaz]

I tried the sugar free POLO but thought they tasted a bit naff but the fruit and spearmint ones are quite nice

If it's candy it would be a York Peppermint Patty.

If it's ice cream it's Mint Chocolate Chip.

For an after-dinner mint it HAS to be an Andes Chocolate Mint.

If it's a drink it's a Mint Julep.

looks nice Nibiru, here I do have a thing for After Eight Mints > http://www.aftereight.co.uk/home/

 

[yodap]

If it's a drink it's a Mint Julip.

I'll see your Mint Julep and raise you 2 Mojito's

 

[Nibiru2012]

A Mint Julep made with Maker's Mark Bourbon is true bliss!

It's almost, but not quite, as divine as "Feasting In The Garden Of Earthly Delights".

If I have to explain that to ya, then proceed to your "Man Cave" and do not collect $200! :listen:

It would take two Mojitos to equal ONE Mint Julep made with Maker's Mark! LOL!

 

[yodap]

I am a long time fan of Makers Mark. Unfortunately brown liquor in general doesn't agree with me any more. uke:
As for your second point, well let me just say I'm a long time fan of that too!
No need to hide in the man cave today. :lol:

 

[Nibiru2012]

Yodap - FWIW, I do like Mojitos, very much! I have a Rican friend here in Austin who makes a very good Mojito!

They're especially tasty on a hot summer evening, when something light is in order.

Just to add Mint is good for you > http://health.learninginfo.org/benefits-mint.htm

 

[draceena]

I'll take a Baileys Mint Chocolate

 

[Veedaz]

Thanks Draceena, I have not tried that ... but I will

Buy some Moroccan mint and grow it in a container to keep it in check, as it spreads like wildfire. It make superior mint sauce, with just a hint of added sugar to taste.

 

[Veedaz]

Would I get the Mint from a garden centre Andsome ?

That's where I got it from. I.M.H.O. it is far superior to any other mint used for mint sauce. We grow it in a container and pick it at its best, wash it and freeze in convenient sized packs it for the winter.

Back to other mints, I also love choc/mint chip ice cream and after eight mints. I like extra strong peppermint sweets, Trebor of course.

 

[Veedaz]

Thank you very much Andsome, we have a huge local garden centre and I gave them a ring ... they do have Moroccan mint in there Herb section @ £2.50 a plant so we will go this afternoon :top:

I like Trebor Extra Strong as well
