Wild Mint is a Bushfood that grows in most regions of Australia. Its many varieties have been used for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians as a food source and as an insect repellent and medicinal plant.

This wild-harvested Mint form Victoria has a strong minty aroma and flavour. Wild Mint can be used as a flavoursome substitute for cultivated mint in savoury recipes, desserts and refreshing hot or cold beverages.

How To Use:

Australian Wild Mint can be used as a substitute in recipes where ever mint is called for. Its strong mint flavour and aroma is wonderful in both savoury and sweet dishes.

Use River Mint to make mint sauce for meat or vegetables, and in Bushfood salad dressings. Add a lift to fresh coleslaw or Quinoa salads; or create a scrumptious roast carrot, cumin and Wild Mint dip. Delicious with seafood and lamb, add Wild Mint to curries, hotpots and roasts; or add it to your next quiche or savoury muffins. For a summer treat, sprinkle a little Wild Mint with coconut sugar over fresh strawberries or a melon mix. Add a fresh, minty lift to chia seed puddings and superfood balls.

River Mint is also excellent as a refreshing herbal tea. Drink tea hot with a little honey or coconut nectar, or make a vibrant iced tea with the addition of lemon myrtle or sliced limes.
