We love mint! My children adore being able to pluck leaves whenever they want and we pick every day for pots of tea, hot and cold. Mint and tulsi cold tea is our favorite in the summer, and it’s hard to keep enough room in the refrigerator. Today my 8 year old asked if we could distill mint and try the hydrosol! What a great idea! Aromatic herbs generally have antibacterial properties so a hydrosol of mint would make a great addition to a natural cleanser (I am working on a yoga mat cleaner with no soap), or to a diffuser when you are sick or stuffed up.
REFRESHING is an understatement.
We love it.
