Is there a mint shortage? Fresh is hardly there and I’ve been looking for dried in between marjoram and mixed herbs for yonks now. If there is a shortage then shit is dire.

Indian or Asian supermarkets and spice shops have it in 100 g bags

Yeah that’s where I’m gonna have to go.

These are the only places I go for spices, I even make special trips to spice shops.
Last week I bought 500 g bags of curry powders and various spices like allspice and cloves

My local Coles had fresh mint in the sleeves a few days ago. If you can substitute with peppermint ( stronger flavour?) then maybe pour out the content of a couple of peppermint tea bags, or loose leaf peppermint tea?

Nah I don’t think it would work. I like using the dried for salad dressing, crumbed lamb cutlets, cucumber soup etc. It’s handy to have in the cupboard. The fresh I use in cold drinks and in salads.

First I’ve heard of it. Piedmonte’s still has it in little plastic containers. Don’t recommend Psarakos as their herbs are always a bit tired.

I’m stumped why there’s no dried mint at my coles or aldi. I need to start looking elsewhere.

I just planted some spearmint hoping to grow it for tea. In a pot with a base so it doesn’t root. hehe root.
