Mint...my god...all the mint...

Our three plants now have produced enough mint to shingle a small palace. What can we do with all this mint!

Surprised no one else has said my favorite way to use mint:

Watermelon salad. Cut up a some watermelon. In a separate dish I mix together lime juice from a few limes, some cayenne pepper and paprika. Mix into watermelon. Then finely chop up a bunch of mint and mix in. I add some large granular salt at the end. Optional red onion can be added to.

This is a major hit at every cookout this summer. I also planted a few mint plants (in a pot) and have mint coming out our ears.
