Mint: Mint Condition - Summer’s garnish just got serious

At last! Mint is getting its delicious and rightful dues. No longer relegated to “pretty garnish” or “breath-freshener” status, mint is rising and shining in the culinary spotlight. And since nothing brings out its best features more than summer, we’ve paired this classic herb with the season’s best: fresh berries and ricotta cheese, honey and rum, ripe tomatoes and basmati rice—and did we mention honey and rum? Your recipes (and mojitos) await. Happy harvest.
