Valid ID can be an in-date driver’s licence or provisional licence, a valid passport or a proof of age standards scheme card (showing the pass hologram). A wide range of herbs, including mint, are grown in all the RHS gardens, so do visit them for more herbal inspiration and growing tips. After a year off due to the coronavirus pandemic, MiNT Festival is due to return on September 25 this year. The line-up will be announced soon. MiNT Festival founder, Shane Graham, said: “We have taken MiNT Festival all over Leeds, Wetherby and as far as Lincoln showground, in search of a home that provided an atmosphere the attendees deserve.

Past acts have included the likes of Craig David, Skepta, Goldie, Ms Dynamite, Futuristic Polar Bears, Shy FX and Zed Bais. Tasting Notes: Intense and pungent mint smell, highly refreshing mint flavour giving you a fresh mouth sensation.According to Greek mythology, Menthe was a water nymph who fell in love with Hades, the Persephoneʼs husband. The jealous goddess turned the nymph into a green plant, today famous for its deliciously fresh sweet aroma. Co-owner Baz Arjomand said: “By purchasing our own venue, it allows us to invest in the long-term infrastructure, providing purpose-built arenas with incomparable sound quality – something that the MiNT brand prides itself on.

The standard form of mint is spearmint (Mentha spicata), which is often just sold as garden mint. But there are many other flavours, including peppermint , apple mint , banana mint and pineapple mint, to name but a few. There is even an aquatic species – water mint ( Mentha aquatica) – for growing in ponds. The different mints can vary in appearance as well as flavour – some have larger or smaller leaves that may be downy, smooth or ruffled, purple-tinted or variegated. Others have purple, pink or white flowers, darker stems, or a taller or more ground-hugging nature. The leaves are best used fresh, but you can keep shoots in a glass of water for several days if you change the water regularly. You can also dry the leaves or freeze them in ice cubes for use in cooking over winter.
