(By special guest poster Cato T. Pultey.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks, Paul. I appreciate the chance to appear in your blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Happy to have you. Ed.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ran across this article while looking for a mojito recipe: “Here\u2019s Why Bartenders Spank Your Mint<\/a>” and thought, “Golly that sounds dirty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Do people really say, “Golly?” Ed.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I read the article, and it turns out that spanking your mint is not what you might think if you have a dirty mind. It means giving the mint a good whack [Not helping your case, Cato. Ed.] to release the aromatics of the mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the article: “A smack accentuates the oils, whereas more violent action against the herb \u2014 like a muddle or a crush that can bruise and break leaves and stems \u2014 will release more of a chlorophyll aroma.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the lesson here is to be gentle with your mint and give it a good smack, but be careful not to break the stem. [Quit while you are ahead. Ed.] Muddle on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
