Refreshing Dried Culinary Herb

Dried Mint Leaves

Cool, aromatic and gently sweet dried mint for yoghurt dips, marinades, teas, salads, potatoes and global cooking.

SpiceBloom Dried Mint Leaves offer a convenient way to keep mint’s distinctive flavour ready in the pantry throughout the year. Drying concentrates the herb’s cool, sweet and earthy character, making it particularly useful in recipes where fresh mint may become lost during cooking.

Use dried mint in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Indian-inspired dishes, from yoghurt sauces and lamb marinades to chutneys, biryani, peas and potatoes. It can also be steeped in hot water for a simple caffeine-free herbal infusion.

Flavour tip: Rub the dried leaves gently between your fingers before adding them. This breaks up the leaves and helps distribute their aroma more evenly through the dish.

A Versatile Herb Across Many Cuisines

Dried mint works in cooling sauces, savoury spice blends, slow-cooked dishes and simple herbal drinks.

🥣

Dips and Yoghurt Sauces

Mix into yoghurt with cucumber, garlic and lemon for raita, tzatziki-style sauces and cooling accompaniments.

🍖

Meat and Vegetable Dishes

Combine with garlic, lemon and olive oil for lamb, chicken, koftas, stuffed vegetables and roast dishes.

🍵

Tea and Infusions

Steep in freshly boiled water and strain for a clean, minty herbal drink served hot or chilled.

Dried Mint vs Fresh Mint

Fresh mint has a bright, leafy flavour and works especially well as a garnish or in fresh salads. Dried mint has a more concentrated, earthy character that holds up well when mixed into sauces, spice blends and cooked dishes.

Because dried herbs are more concentrated, use less dried mint than the amount of fresh mint stated in a recipe. Begin with a small quantity, allow it to hydrate in the dish, then taste before adding more.

Dried mint will soften when mixed with yoghurt, dressings, sauces or hot liquid. For uncooked dips, prepare the mixture a few minutes before serving so the leaves have time to absorb moisture.

Everyday Ways to Use Dried Mint

  • Raita: Stir into yoghurt with cucumber, salt, cumin and lemon.
  • Marinades: Mix with garlic, olive oil and citrus for lamb, chicken or vegetables.
  • Indian cooking: Add to chutneys, biryani, curries and savoury yoghurt sauces.
  • Salads: Sprinkle lightly over tabbouleh, tomato salads and grain bowls.
  • Vegetables: Pair with peas, new potatoes, carrots, courgettes and roasted vegetables.
  • Infusions: Steep approximately one teaspoon in hot water, then strain before serving.
🤏 Start with a Pinch RUB GENTLY BEFORE USE
