Sweet Mint Berries

I love eating this snack as the weather is getting warm. It is so refreshingly cold, tart, and sweet, with a brightness that comes from the fresh mint. Mint is so easy to grow on a patio of any size, so it is easy to keep on hand to add freshness to your dishes!

RECIPE

• Wash a couple packages of berries of choice. You can also use defrosted frozen berries. My favorite to use here are blackberries, but blueberries or strawberries would also be delicious.

• Chop up some fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them on top of the berries (mint grows really well on a patio)

• Add a couple squeezes of lemon juice

• Sprinkle on a little bit of sugar or sweetener of choice, just enough to get some sweet juices to coat the berries (optional)

Mix together and enjoy right away or keep in the fridge for a sweet treat later on!
