Grow the mint in a container or it will take over the yard.

I think you can dry mint in a microwave , i'm sure I did it a few years back , perhaps look that method up ?

I love mint growing in my yard. I also plant it along my sidewalk. just a nice smell when you walk by.

I don't know about giving you energy but this is a very good water. We make it at work in an infuser, similar to the way Dr Oz but about 1 1/2 -2 gallons. Don't keep it over night or it will become bitter from the lemon rind.

On Dr. Oz, there was an energy drink I want to try. You take water, slices of cucumber, mint, ginger, and lemon and let it mingle overnight. Drink. They had it in a pitcher, so I guess that is how it is done. Supposed to give you energy.

I have a friend who ties in small bundles and dries upside down in her breezeway. She dries a lot of different herbs like that and her 9ft. ceilings are perfect for it.

I tried that recipe a couple years ago but found the taste not to my likening. But I did decide to keep using just the lemon wedges in a pitcher of water and drink that all summer long. Its supposed to help you loose weigh and be a diaretic if you retain water. Don't know if I spelled that word correctly but hopefully you get the drift of my meaning. The lemon wedges last about 2 weeks for me. When they sink to the bottom, its time to replace so I put them down the disposal and freshen that up too. Two birds with one stone.
