At the beginning of summer, I mentioned to our friend/neighbor that I would eventually love an herb box right outside our kitchen door. About two days later, he told me he had built it and was ready to hang it!! Talk about a good neighbor!
James and I have been looking for ways to use the herbs, and I came across this recipe for Blueberry Lemonade on Pinterest (my latest obsession), which uses some mint.
I'm always looking for some new drink recipes in the summer, and this one was delicious!
Add some strawberry slices and I think this would be great for the 4th of July weekend.
Need ideas for how to use your herbs? Check out some of these:
- use some herbs in cocktails (you might have seen this in Southern Living)
- basil pesto (we've already made one batch!)
- grilled artichokes with creamy mint sauce
- of course Martha has plenty of ideas
