I really love the smell of mint.
We also have lemongrass in the yard, but don't use it as much 🙈 and only used for preparing meals. I should actually try putting it in drinks. Do you have a recipe for us?
I really love mint as well! It has such a refreshing smell. There are quite a few varieties too eh. You know I’ve only made lemongrass as tea🙈. I just cut a few pieces, wash them, pour boiling water on and let it steep for a bit. I usually add a teaspoon of honey or a little sugar per cup.
I’ve had it in Thai food but have never tried cooking with it. Sorry to turn the table but please share with me one of your recipes. Lol!

hahahaa no problem, whenever I'll make my famous soup (also known as soto ayam in Indonesia) again, I'll be sure to share it.
I think @rarej has already prepared meals with it and I think he put a stalk of the lemongrass in the fish when he steamed it. Together with some lime. I'll have to look for the post on his page.
Thanks for the tea recipe 😊.
😃I’ll look out for it, both the soup recipe and @rarej’s fish recipe.
Feels like I have scared much but you’re welcome. 😂😃
Found posts about the soup. I don't think I posted anything about the fish. Pictures are still in my gallery somewhere.

That's the #dashoutsunday one about Saoto (the soup)

And this post was one of my first posts about it, as it's my favorite dish.
Oh my! I shouldn’t have checked those posts out. Now I really want some. The soup looks real good. I see it’s definitely your favorite. 😀You have several photos. It looks real flavorful and delicious. I could taste it from the photos. Thanks to you and your special Saoto Chef @tanjakolader. Hehe. I love the little tie of the lemongrass as well. Nothing like some good chicken soup. @bearmol we must try it one day. Hopefully we can get the garlic right. I have a strong feeling that @bearmol will be the one to work on that part. Lol!

The "sous chef" huh 🤭🤣🤣.

I've seen it being done on multiple occasions at people's party's, who had more experience with this soup, so I've adopted it 😅.
Hope to see a post about it after you've tried it ☺️.
😂😆Haha re sous chef. Yes but he’s executive chef at times.
Here, I just get pieces and bits of lemon on grass. I’d have to tape or paste them all together to make such a cute knot. 😂😂😂
Yea, I really want to try it.

Hahahahaa, and here we are where it grows like a bush of grass, that we often need to cut to maintain.
Will do. Is that chocolate scorpion pepper a sweet recipe? Lol!
Sounds real hot. Any pepper will do, right?😃
They call the pepper chocolate scorpion because of its brown color. So actual chocolate is not involved. 😅
Not sweet at all, but very hot and a unique good taste.

Jup, the heat in the soup is more of a preference which differs from person to person.
I think you took the pictures of the fish with my phone... and also though you had already posted about it...
