Mint has been long known as an herbal remedy, easing queasy stomachs, calming stress and anxiety, and promoting restful sleep. Peppermint tea has long been viewed as an excellent way to ease an upset stomach, calming the digestive tract and alleviating indigestion, gas, and cramps.
Mint leaves are tender herbs with gentle stems and have a distinct pleasant aroma, pleasing taste, cool after-sensation and medicinal qualities. They are best used raw or added at the end of cooking in order to maintain their delicate flavour and texture.
Wrap the mint leaves gently in a dampened paper towel or place the mint in a plastic bag, not sealing all the way so that air can circulate. Do not wrap tightly; trapped moisture will cause the herbs to mold. Trim the ends and place in a glass filled with water.
Use it as a flavouring agent in curries, briyani and other preparations. It can be freshly brewed with tea to make ‘Pudina Chai’. A dash of mint can add zest & colour to juices & drinks especially lemonades & mocktails.
