Mint and Basil Pesto

Mint is a medicinal herb used in traditional medicine to treat abdominal pain and chest pain. Although many are used to adding it to hot tea, there is also a wide range of delicious and healthy recipes and drinks to prepare. Personally, I fell in love with this pesto sauce because of the aroma that permeates into the air as soon as I open the jar, which is why I chose to share this simple and wonderful recipe with you.
