Last Saturday we stopped by the Spring Green Farmer’s Market at the Yellow Barn Farm<\/a> booth to say hello to our friend Rebecca<\/a>.\u00a0 We bought a box of striped roma tomatoes to make our annual \u00a0tomato confit<\/a>\u00a0and she gave us a big bunch of mountain mint for free.\u00a0 She suggested that we make some mojitos.\u00a0 Maybe we looked like we needed a drink or something. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I looked through several recipes online and came up with my own little twist.\u00a0 Keith is not too fond of mint so this version is a little less minty than the ones I’ve found.\u00a0 It also doesn’t involve muddling the mint.\u00a0 The mountain mint I thought was quite mild compared to other mint that I’ve tasted.\u00a0 It had a very sweet and creamy aroma.\u00a0 It was the first taste of mojito for the both of us and we definitely will be making them again.\u00a0 Another discovery was this.\u00a0 I’ve finally found something I like about Ernest Hemingway.\u00a0 His favorite drink was the mojito!\u00a0 Cheers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
