A minty moment

We've had fun today with the mint:

It's been hanging up in the spare room for a couple of days or so now and is now in ... wait for it ... mint condition. Hurrah! All perfectly dried out. So we've taken it down and stored it in the required air-tight container, as specified in Gardeners' World, and now all we can smell is mint. It's very intense stuff.

We've even had some in our mashed potato tonight - mmm, lovely ... And I'm wondering if I can make mint tea somehow. From the smell I suspect it's spearmint and apparently that's the most commonly grown garden mint variety so I may even be right.

Anyway, all this makes us feel very much "back to nature" and I'm wondering what we can use in our cooking next.
