Perfect timing! I’m obsessed with mint and basil in my water and I was telling myself to repot my mint. ❤️

It is nearly a year after you posted this. I’m so glad I watched this because I let my mint go to flower for the bees and I’m not sure if the leaves are still good for tea, etc. so I was going to wait till next spring for another harvest. But!!!! Now I know I should root it and grow it inside for the winter!! What an idea!!

Hi Kim, Sharon, Virginia zone 7a. This is mt first time growing mint. I have 2 Mojito Mint plants I got from Amazon and they are doing great indoors. Also a neighbor gave me another mint from her garden and I trimmed them and put them in a jar of water. It smells heavenly and I love to add mint leaves to my herb tea. Thanks for demonstrating how easy it is to root mint. Keep the videos coming! garde

My favorite use is to make cantaloupe and banana mint smoothies.

My mint only recently began to take off well in its container, and with Oklahoma's up and down weather, I brought it inside this weekend. We had a freeze warning, but it'll probably be in the 80's next week.

I love smelling mint in the garden! Peppermint especially.

I grow mint in a pot on the balcony. The upper part die in the cold winter, but they grow back the following summer. Amazing!
I use it in tabboule, salads, 🍵...

Rooted some in my aerogarden. So many roots

I have loads of Lime Basil and recently learned how to make an herbal iced tea straight from the garden with it. You pick a pretty good handful worth, stems, flowers, seeds, all of it goes in a blender with a 3-4 cups of water. I added some stevia to it.
Whirl it in the blender for about 30 seconds or so, then strain it over a glass of ice.
It is absolutely delicious! Now I'm going to add a bit of mint to the blender give it a little twist.
Running it thru the blender takes the taste and nutrition to a whole new level!
Thank you for the info on pruning mint. I will do that this weekend. ❤

Chicory coffee substitute, with a little mint added, and a little cocoa mix make a nice drink.

I might be the only person that doesn't mind if my mint garden is invasive. Idk what kind of mint I have growing but the leaves are HUGE and it smells absolutely delightful!! 😍😍🌿🌿
