How To Download Mint [2021]

One of my favorite summertime memories was having Mint Chip Ice Cream back when I grew up in New England, which we ate outside and had ordered from a window at our local dairy. Even though the ice cream was freshly made, they made sure it bright-bright-green, so we knew we were eating mint, I suppose.
Jessica: There are a lot of different types of mint, and I used the variety shown in the post, which is the most commonly available here. Some are stronger than others, and this one is pretty fragrant.
Have you ever tried to use Lemon Balm, Melissa officinalis?
It is my favorite mint variety, the lemony taste is not as pronounced as it may seem reading the name, and it has a nice strong mint flavour without the bitterness some other mint varieties have.
Lore: I love Jacques, although last time I went in, he tried to strangle me, which I think (or hope) is his way of showing affection. And yes, his mint chocolates are excellent. So are the Zagora ones from La Maison du Chocolat, too.
I just love this recipe, where I live we have wild mint growing in the mountains, its a litlle different because its a dry climate mint which grows at 1000 mtrs., but its very fragant. Saludos from Argentina, Marlis
Gina: One of the previous commenters noted what variety of mint it is, which I bought from my local market. If you want to be sure, print out one of the photos in the post (or from my Flickr page and take it to your local agricultural extension and they can assist you in identifying a similar variety in your area.
I love a good mint chip ice cream. They have something here in Bulgaria, but it tastes horrible. I ordered it with something completely different in mind and what I received was frozen toothpaste. Yuck! I have had my KA freezer bowl freezing for sometime now and I thing this recipe will help bring it back to action.
Coincidentally, I made mint chocolate chip cream last weekend using the recipes for fresh mint ice cream and stratella from The Perfect Scoop . It was incredible. My wife adores mint chocolate chip ice cream, so with mint overwhelming the garden, I thought it might be nice to indulge her. But I was blown away! I never liked chocolate mint ice before. Far to medicinal tasting. But this was subtle and refreshing. Congratulations.
I have sooo much mint in my garden, and a son who loves mint ice cream with chocolate chips. I agree, that the freshest and purest ingredients always are reflected in the final outcome of a recipe. Fresh mint is the only option here with it subtle color and real flavor. It sounds wonderful!
Anna: I made some two days ago with chocolate mint from my garden, the taste was awesome, and the colour was a lovely green too, no artificial colouring needed.
I have some Apple mint at the allotment that I intend to try on the next batch, although the leaves on that are a variegated green and yellow, so I am not expecting such a strong colour.
David, I bookmarked this recipe when I saw this post and made it a few days ago. Even though I messed up melting the chocolate so it was kind of a blob, I was able to crumble it into the ice cream and mix everything together. May I just say, yum. Absolutely no need for mint extract or God forbid, green food coloring. I used mint I grow outside my door and got a very faint greenish hue. The flavor is just amazing. Gotta get your ice cream book. My cousin has it and loves it. Thank you for sharing.
I remember making these brownies for a Christmas party years ago. When I was a single lady without a food blog because food blogs were (are?) nerdy and weird. Along with my chocolate covered pretzels (one of the first recipes published on my blog!), these classic mint chocolate brownies disappeared. Shocking.
Thanks for sharing a great recipe! My husband requested a chocolate mint dessert for his birthday and I remembered making this one several years ago when you first published it. This time I followed the recipe except I used a few drops of peppermint oil (leftover from candy making) in place of the extract. I also added a half tsp of espresso powder to the brownie batter.

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe for the Mint Sugar Scrub. I made a Pumpkin Pie Spice one for my cousins for our November DIVA Night and I have been looking for a Peppermint one. I love the mint green and think I might do half mint green and half pink. Anyway, Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your recipe for the peppermint sugar scrub. and the print option for this recipe. I will be making this one for sure and will probably use peppermint essential oil.

I love Christmas stockings. They are fun to fill and the possibilities are endless. I even loved stockings when I was a kid, maybe even more than the gifts under the tree. Our stockings changed from year to year, but my dad always included a few of the same items every single year, they were tradition! He always put in an orange, candy canes, chapstick, socks, gum, a Christmas letter, and Andes mints. Now, we do the same for our boys.
Andes Mint Cookies are soft and chewy chocolate cookies that have a melted Andes Mint on top. The KEY to these cookies is to place the Andes Mint on top of the cookies when they are still warm so the mint melts onto the chocolate cookie, creating a chocolate mint frosting. They are DIVINE!
Add Andes Mints to your shopping list and bake up a batch of Andes Mint Cookies for Christmas. They are a great addition to any cookie platter and they are Santa approved. The chocolate mint combo is perfection!
Love these Andes Mint cookies. I used a small cookie scoop and only 1/2 mint per cookie. Doing this I got 56 cookies. I used Irish butter and King Arthur cocoa & flour. They are delicious! They are soft and just the right amount of mint. I will definitely make these again. Thank you for this recipe.
Oh my gosh these are AMAZING!!!! They blew my mind!!!! They are so rich and so fudgey! I made mine large and added 2 mints on top, I also put a sheet of tin foil over them to melt my candies better. These are absolutely killer!
