2017-08-21 11:02阅读：
我家的后院种了一盆薄荷，每年冬天它都会枯萎冬眠，我会给它施肥加土。第二年春天它也绝不例外地再次钻出土来，又会茂盛地生长一个春夏。
薄荷叶我一般只会拿来做
印式薄荷沾酱或饮料食品的点缀。所以种的薄荷也用得不是特别多。
今年夏天我做了这款薄荷糖浆，用来做好多不同的饮料。家人都好喜欢，一个月内我就做了好几瓶。结果后院的薄荷都长不够我用了呢!
I have a mint plant in my backyard that has been with us for years,
it survived a few winters and always managed to come back to
flourish. I normally used the leaves to make
Pudina
chutney
or garnish to dishes.
This year I started using fresh mint leaves to make mint syrup to
be used in different drinks and desserts. It is so good that I made
so many batches in the span of few weeks! My mint plant can hardly
keep up with my demand!
