how did i end up making mojitos with mint from my own backyard?

Never thought I’d be the person picking mint leaves from my own garden, but here we are. Last spring, I tossed a few mint seeds into a pot, barely expecting anything. Fast forward to now, and my little patch is wild with fresh, fragrant leaves. The best part? Making mojitos with mint I grew myself. I just snip a few sprigs, rinse them, and muddle them right into the glass. The flavor is way brighter than store-bought. Plus, I never have to worry about running out mid-recipe. If you’re thinking about starting a garden, mint is the easiest win. It grows fast, doesn’t need much fuss, and makes every drink or salad feel extra special. My kitchen smells amazing, and I get to brag a little every time friends come over. #gardeningjoy #freshmint #homegrown #Gardening
