Whenever we go to Sam's parents' house, Sam's dad gives us something to take back home with us. Clothes, army mail bags, ties, flower seeds, and this time mint. He knows how much I like it, and he knows that mine did not grow well this summer. So he had me cut down all of his mint which would soon be felled by the frost. I took it home and used half to make a batch of mint wine and the other half I dried to make mint tea.
