Comments (9)There are LOTS of different versions, some use simple syrup instead of confectioners' sugar, some use regular granular sugar...using it to muddle with the mint to bruise it and release it flavor. But here's one. SOUTHERN MINT JULEP 2 sprigs fresh mint 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup ice, crushed 1 1/2 ounces bourbon 1 sprig fresh mint 1. Place mint in blender; add water and sugar. 2. Blend until leaves disappear, add ice and bourbon; blend a few seconds. 3. Pour into frosted glass or julep cup which has been filled with finely chopped ice. 4. Stir and decorate with a sprig of mint. 5. Serves 1. 6. Note: Serve with a short straw that is no taller than the mint, so one enjoys the aroma as well as the taste....See MoreSoil for Growing Mint (Moroccan Mint)
Comments (5)The famous gardener, Alan Chadwick, recommended planting mint near the garden faucet. That way, every time you turn on the water, the mint gets a splash. It loves to be moist. The soil should be nice and rich. I top dress mine with composted cow manure, or even better, make manure tea. A nice write-up on mint can be found at the website below. Click on "Techniques", then on "Mint." Here is a link that might be useful: Alan Chadwick...See MoreHAVE: Lots of mints many species
Comments (2)I absolutely love mints and would love to have some of your cuttings. I live in Hammond so the postage shouldnt be that bad. I am interested in your spearmint, orangemint, ( if catmint has a good aroma, I would like some of that too.), and any other mints that have nice smells. Look at my trade list and see if there are any seeds you would like. Thanks...See MoreJay 6a Chicago
