Especially in the summer, mint is incredibly versatile. Its fresh fragrance and distinctive flavor can turn a simple lemonade into a refreshing mocktail, a tea pot into an invigorating drink or a daily salad into an attractive dish reminiscent of a gourmet restaurant. That is really essential.
In addition, mint has many health benefits: it promotes digestion, reduces flatulence, has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, and at the same time has a toning and stimulating effect.
Freshly picked, mint leaves attract all eyes, but they are also ideal as an infusion for the winter months when dried.
However, in summer, it seems counterintuitive to buy mint when it can be easily grown in a pot or in the garden.
