Ah I see what you mean! Sounds like a better way to do it, and like you say you're still getting the benefit of the mint

I hate having a stomach so sensitive to different foods & reflux, but it runs in my family, we all have a dodgy tummy, such a nuisance. My husband can eat whatever he wants and never has any trouble!
