I noticed that the mint plant that I hijacked got from my friend’s yard is really taking off and wondered…hmmm…what can I do with all this mint??? Tea, of course! And perfect…I’ve got raspberries in the freezer.

I’ve been trying to figure out something to do with my mint. This is perfect! Thanks.
Heather @CeliacFamily says
This sounds great, and I certainly need to do something with all the mint in my garden. I was thinking mojitos, but I can’t drink those all day. 🙂 Thanks.

crockpot? “Immersion” (stick) blender? I know a lot of people who’d be made very happy with this! Thank you!!!! <3
Erin says
A tiny Crockpot would work…immersion blender would certainly work. I took the easiest and faster way out with the potato masher! And it’s delicious!

I’ve been looking for a good tea to make with my mint leaves. And I just happen to have some raspberries in the freezer. This sounds really good. I’m off to try it.
Joan says
Wow! Thank you for this great recipe–It sounds SO delicious!
DeAna @ Balancing Act Basics says
Sounds really tasty.
Did you plant your mint directly into the ground? It’s notorious for taking over a garden, so I’ve heard many times to put mint in a clay pot and plant the pot into the ground. So keep that mint cut back!
Amy says
I’m glad the mint took. We might have to come over for a glass.
Any ideas on what to do with the chocolate mint???
Michelle M. says
Yum! I am definitely going to make that this summer!!

I am trying this one tonight! I just bought raspberries yesterday and I finally have some mint coming in on my Aerogarden! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂

Well, my plan was to make raspberry mint tea, but my son asked to have a few raspberries before dinner. I said, “sure” not really paying attention and before I knew it he had eaten ALL of the raspberries!
So I tried the same recipe with blueberries and it was very yummy too. 🙂
Erin says
Oh no! Good to know it works with blueberries too!
