So you grew herbs this year, and you feel like you did everything you possibly could with them. But there are still so many, and they keep growing! You have made countless baked potatoes, spaghetti sauce, and salads. Now, you are left racking your brain with other possibilities on what to put them in. Have no fear; we got you covered. Here are three surprising foods to add them to.
Brownies with Herbs

We know what you’re thinking, not those kinds of brownies. One of the best herbs you can add to any brownie recipe is mint! If you have it, you know that mint grows like crazy once it starts growing. Gathering mint of the plant is simple if you have not yet done it. Either pluck individual leaves or cut some of the stems with scissors.
Neither of these will hurt your mint plant; they will actually help it grow! You can add it to your brownies fresh or dried, my family prefers fresh. For a mint-infused brownie recipe, click here.

Ice Cream
This one took us by surprise as well. Especially if you are used to using herbs in things with savory flavors. It is common to find mix-ins like cookies, candy, and chunks of chocolate. Herbs are a different story! Although it seems crazy, it is quite tasty!
Get out that plain ole vanilla ice cream, and let’s spice it up a little bit. Let’s be real; it’s been sitting back there for a while. Time to excite your senses with a hint of lemon. Thanks to some fresh lemongrass. The best news? It is SO easy to make! Visit Cooking NYTimes for step-by-step instructions on your new favorite sweet treat.
Cocktails
Yes, we saved the best for last. Who needs to go to the local bar when you can craft something delectable in the comfort of your home? No one likes to put jeans on, well you don’t have to. Herbs are the final and perfect touch for not one but multiple cocktails. Let’s fill you in, and don’t forget you can tweak these to your liking.
You can always add more or less liquor or even change the type of liquor in each drink. Our favorite is a bloody mary with a hint of basil, dill, or thyme. What about a strawberry basil margarita? Heavenly. If you don’t think you can be a bartender, you’re wrong. Because thankfully, we have the internet. Hopefully, you do not mind spicy food.
