"If someone offers you a breath mint, accept it." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr., Author
The refrigerator light goes on...
This is a take on the Turkish yogurt and cucumber. Think of this as cucumber and yogurt. I much prefer the latter as the cool cucumber and mint is well complemented by the yogurt and I like this more equal balance.
Mint
There are dozens of varieties of mint but the two you are most likely to find in the market are spearmint and peppermint. As the name implies the peppermint is spicier with a more pungent flavor. Its leaves are brighter green with a purple tinge to the spines and stems.
Because spearmint doesn't contain menthol it is the milder of the two. It has larger grayish-green leaves.
