I am a big fan of mint. Where I grew up in rural Canada there was a patch of wild mint in the woods and my mother used to make jelly out of it. Your drink sounds absolutely heavenly and the colour is divine!
Thank you Elizabeth. I just read your About page on your blog. Great story! I am from Europe and I grew up there. I lived in US and now I am in Canada.
