Just One Plant: Coffee Meets Mint
Add herbal freshness to your coffee—hot or cold!
Adding homemade honey simple syrup to your morning cup of coffee is an inventive and delicious way of using mint in the morning. These recipes can be scaled up to be stored in the refrigerator or a travel mug if you are looking to share. Shaking your cold brew drink creates a frothy texture, which makes it just a little more special.
