Dry it and make mint tea. You just stick the dried, crushed up leaves in one of those little sieve tea thingies you'd use with loose leaf tea.
Or make mint sauce to have with lamb.
Mint sauce for lamb?
mojitos!!
or just in chilled water with a touch of lemon juice.
and mint tea is lovely, as others have said.
and a few sprigs in your peas while boiling are mice, too :D
My friend used to make mint cordial whenever her patch went wild...very refreshing.
punch
potato salad
Vietnamese Salad - you can google it
Use it in fattoush
Make mint jelly
Make mint tea
Dry it and put it in bags to scent things
Broad bean and mint bruschetta (OMG that is such a good idea I think i will make it and blog it)
And on Friday night, Jamie Oliver used dried mint on a Greek lamb dish. Looked really good.
You don't have old poms in the family? My grandmother is from Liverpool and she CANNOT have overdone lamb without mint sauce :):
