Mint powder is prepared from dried mint leaves. The mint leaf, fresh or dried, is the culinary source of mint. Mint was originally used as a medicinal herb to treat stomach ache and chest pains, and it is commonly used in the form of tea as a home remedy to help alleviate stomach pain.

Clean the mint by picking the leaves and discarding the stems. Wash the leaves nicely under running water to get rid of any mud and chemicals. Strain nicely to get rid of most of the water. Spread the leaves on a large baking sheet or large plates lined with a cotton cloth. Keep the plate in strong sun for 6-8 hours. Grind the dry leaves in a blender to make a fine powder.Store dry mint powder in an airtight container for up to a year.
