Well, then, you'll never have enough mint, despite your colorful description of how you do.

You can dry it for the winter or use it in the summer. I just cut it at ground, then wash it in big tubs outside. Cut it up and put it in a crockpot or two (outside because of the heat). When it's brewed, take out the mint and put it in the compost pile.

Refrigerate your tea in jars and you'll always have plenty of cool, refreshing drinks for the summer.

I occasionally put in a few bags of regular decaf tea, just for a flavor variation.
