Mint is the best herb. No other herb can boast such wide applications, sweet and savoury. It could be ice cream, it could be salsa verde for lamb chops. It can garnish a bowl of Pho or a Chocolate Moelleux. It's all delcious.

I haven't had these in a metric yonk but my mother sent some for Christmas and my god they're better than I ever remembered. Cool, crisp, perfect balance of cocoa and that intense slab of mint.

If you haven't had Andes in a long time try them again, they may be better than you remember

It's wild some of the things mint pairs with despite all logic.

This is the best cocktail I've ever had. It's mint, pineapple, and peach. Did you know mint works well with pineapple and peach? I didn't.

>They blended the mint into the drink making it look like swamp water

Fuck that. It's one of my favorite cocktails too, so do it this way!

Muddle 5 (1 inch) chunks of fresh pineapple in a drink tin. Add 8 mint leaves, 1 oz fresh lime, 1/2 oz rich syrup (ideally Demerara syrup), 1/2 oz peach liqueur, and 1 1/2 oz lightly aged rum, I like Havana Club here. Add a good scoop ~12 oz crushed ice, and either shake hard, or blend on a stand mixer for 10 seconds. Double strain into a chilled coupe.

[Anonymous No.18867771]

>>18867739
yeah I picked a bad pic and didn't realize until too late. The blended version is shit and too bitter. The ideal is the smuggler's cove version imo.

Blending gets all the bitterness from the mint leaves. muddling with the pineapple then shaking and double straining keeps a lot of that out. Much more pure.

I am quite fond of the mint julep.

When I was a kid I planted mint in my mom's garden and it just sort of colonized the entire back and front yards over the years. I went back this summer and cut the "grass" for my dad and holy shit it smelled fuckin crazy.

I planted some in my back yard in the corner of the yard and my faggot neighbor ran it over with is mower. same thing when I planted flowers back there. It's technically public property but nobody maintains it so I plant something nice there and the faggot decides now it's time to mow it.

you know, you can grow your own mint and carry fresh peppermint with you or whichever mint flavor you like and put it in your food wherever you go, yeah?

There was a very short lived attempt by people who hated mint to push "mint chocolate is gross" because of the pineapple on pizza reddit meme. It kind of fizzled out. I don't think they had as much support.

1. The Uzaki reaction isn't about medicine. Uzaki gets pissed off specifically about people who say mint tastes like toothpaste, because toothpaste tastes like mint. It's mint flavored.
2. I understood Rootbeer wasn't common in Japan, so I brought Rootbeer barrels as omiyage when I arrived. It was only then I learned that most Japanese hate the taste and think it's like bad medicine.
About a month before I left, I found some at an import shop. One of my coworkers actually liked it!

[Anonymous No.18872749]

It's used a lot in Asia. I think it's just European cuisines that haven't found much use for it aside from the occasional confectioneries.
