I am sure you all go through this. I buy mint and separate the leaves, put in a container and keep it in fridge. I have noticed, the mint leaves starts turning brown in few days no matter how I keep it. I hate throwing any of my vegetables and always looking for solution. I finally found the solution, yay! The mint you see here is around 10 days old.
Here is what I did to keep mint fresh and after a week they are fresh as a week before:
- I cleaned up the bunch and removed bruised leaves.
- I removed all the leaves from bottom of the stem so no leaves touching the water. I used these leaves to make paste for pani puri.
- In a glass, I added little tap water, just enough to cover the bottom of mint stems.
- I added all the mint stems in the water.
- I covered the glass including mint stems with plastic bag. Keep it loose so leaves stays as is. Put this in the fridge.
- Change the water every 2-3 days.
- Use the leaves as needed.
- Stems will start rooting in few days.
- After you used up most of the leaves, keep few on top and plant the stems in good soil. You will see mint starts growing in few days.
- Enjoy the unlimited supply of mint whole summer long.
You can make mint chutney, masala for pani puri, use it in curry and more more. Do give it a try!
