Fresh Mint, 0.5 oz Clamshell

I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful this package of mint was! The leaves were bright green, fragrant, and lasted much longer in the refrigerator than I expected. (Here is a useful hint: when you get the package home, open the clamshell packaging, place all the mint leaves in a damp paper towel and place them back in the clamshell container! The leaves will stay fresh and last a lot longer!) I use a couple leaves in my drinking water, and it gives it such a clean, refreshing taste without being overpowering. Cut up a leave or two with some scissors or just tear a leave or two apart with your fingers and place it in your water. I use mine in an OWALLA container so the mint water stays cold all day, you can shake up the bottle occasionally to intensify the mint flavor and sip it all day through a straw, so you don't swallow any of the mint! The clamshell packaging also keeps the mint from getting crushed or wilted like some fresh herbs do. A little goes a long way, so even the 0.5 oz package lasted me quite a while. It's become a regular purchase for me because it makes plain water feel much more refreshing and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone who likes naturally flavored water, tea, or fresh herbs for cooking!
