Femme Organics Mint Flakes

Dried mint leaves add a distinctive flavor to foods and have been used for centuries in cooking. The possibilities are endless. Dried mint is a staple in many complex South Asian dishes, imparting a sweet flavor with a cool, refreshing aftertaste. It's used in chutney and pesto, too. Try adding dried mint leaves to curries, casseroles and stews or using them as a rub for racks of lamb. If you aren't an active or experienced cook, you can enjoy dried mint leaves sprinkled over soups, salads, cooked vegetables, fresh fruit or yogurt. 
 

When times get tough, nothing soothes like mint tea. Nothing could be easier: For two cups of tea, place 2 teaspoons of dried mint leaf into a metal tea ball and steep in 2 cups of boiling water for 10 minutes. Historically, peppermint and spearmint teas were believed to cure any of a number of ailments and used medicinally, but they also make for delightful, calming sipping.

Add mint leaves to any of your herbal tea to experience a different sensation!
