The mint plant that we have been tending to for many months finally gets its growth spurt this summer. We came back from a one-week vacation and it was screaming for attention! Look at those lush green leaves!

We had a ‘bountiful’ harvest this morning.

I am really into Elderflower flavored cocktails lately. Surely, I have to make a Elderflower Mojito for this beautiful summer day. So refreshing 😌
