  1. I'm not sure what happened. maybe my mint wasn't fresh enough? maybe it was because i didn't have a full ounce (closer to 1/2 oz)? this just didn't do it for me. i tried pureeing it some. it also took quite a bit of salt. i also added a bit of cayenne. i might try this again with more fresher mint. thank you for posting!
