There are plenty of ways to use fresh mint, including mint sauce which is delicious with lamb. Chop the fresh leaves finely and mix with vinegar and sugar. You can infuse mint in hot water to make mint tea. Make cocktails like mojitos or add it to salads. You can use it in marinades, pairing it with lemon juice and olive oil, for example, which is a great way to add a fresh flavor.  I also like to use it to make pesto in the food processor in place of basil for a new twist on the classic recipe. I'm sure you will find plenty more easy ways to use mint, either the whole leaves or the stem too. And don't forget a few mint sprigs add a pop of color to desserts, even if they're just used for decoration.
