Mint soup

In May, Amelia and her little brother Isaac went to visit Grammie. While they were playing in Grammie's garden, they found a pretty blue bowl on a stand. It was a birdbath with some nice clear water in it. When she saw the birdbath and the water, Amelia had an idea right away. "Mint soup!" she said. "I want to make some mint soup!" So Amelia and Isaac set about making mint soup, a lovely concoction containing aromatic mint, a sweet rose or two, pungent evergreen tips and some woodsy hardwood chips.

Needs a little more mint

A final stir

Ah, perfect!
