The most popular gelato flavor this summer has been the natural mint chocolate chip, and I can understand why. The mint comes from our 'grampy garden', where it has been lovin' the wet weather of the early summer. For those of you who haven't tried it, it has a fresh herbal taste unlike the fake green mint ice cream you may be thinking of. I think the flavor would also make a great buttercream- mmm, chocolate cupcakes with mint buttercream and a chocolate covered mint leaf.
