Why use lime mint for cooking?
It’s ideal for lemonade, cocktails (Mojitos) as well as salads and some savoury recipes (lovely in sauces with fish or chicken)
Typical lime mint recipes:
- Fresh mint syrup mojito (simply use less lime in the recipe)
- Mint sauce (Replace the mint used in the recipe with lime mint for a lightly different & fresher flavour)

Very easy to grow at home

- This mint prefers direct sunlight or partial shade and a well drained soil.
