Mint - how can I finish the packet and not throw it away as I normally do?

[extremelychocolateymilkroll]

Whenever I buy mint for a recipe I end up using a little of it, putting it in the fridge thinking I must use this for something else and days later I throw it away when it's all shrivelled up. Any suggestions as to what to do with it? TIA

fresh mint?

freeze it

HTH

Chop it up finely and then freeze in icecube trays.

freeze it!! chop it and freeze and use next time.

i do this with corriander plants.

We use it to liven up fruit. Chop really finely and mix in with a bit of sugar. Give it a bash in a pestle and mortar to make a crunchy, minty sugar to sprinkly over fruit. Works really well with pineapples and strawberries.

yes absolutely delicious with strawberries and cream

Make an almighty (possibly unseasonal) jug of Pimms

Make fresh mint tea, so much tastier than mint teabags.

Mojitos!

feta and mint omlettes. really nice in wraps with a bit of fresh salad.

Thanks very much for all your replies. I don't know why but I've never thought of freezing herbs.
