Fresh mint is wonderful for salads, for tea, stomach aces (kids and adults) and has a wonderful aroma and flavor. It is also great for hard candies!<\/p>\n

I grow my own mint types in planters and pots in my balcony. This is wonderful when you want to make a fresh batch of mint candies \u2013 but you could also buy mint, as long as it is fresh. If your mint has wilted away a bit \u2013 just cut a bit from the bottom and put them in a cup of water. They will get back to action shortly and you will be able to make a really good candy. I highly recommend you to grow your own mint in a pot outside a window, in your garden or anywhere. Mint usually likes water and can thrive nicely in the shade or in full sunlight.<\/p>\n

Mint candies are great – they even smell wonderful – and this is not so simple as most candies lock the smell!. They are a great way to refresh the pallet and give you a wonderful breath of fresh mint. Of course I’m not using menthol… natural, organic mint is the way to go! Don’t worry – it is not hot – it is just perfect!<\/p>\n

Natural mint candies come in two types – the gentle and the strong (but not hot!). Both kinds are great for candy making and my friends and colleagues love these and they are refreshing and a great way to end lunch with a minty smile!<\/p>\n
