That sounds w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!
I have mint and lavendar growing in my garden and hadn't thought of mixing the two. This will be perfect for our hot, muggy days we've been having lately!!!

Hey kitchenelf, can you use the fresh stuff? How much more would you need?

 

[kitchenelf]

Rule of thumb is 3 parts fresh herbs to 1 part dried herbs. 8)
