In a tall glass with the back of a spoon crush mint with sugar and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved
and stir in the rum. Add Ice Cubes and top off the drink with club soda or seltzer.
Stir the drink well and Garnish with milk and lemon.

Magazine has an Article on Hatch New Mexico with a recipe for Chiles Rellenos on page 72,. al;so an
interesting recipe for mongolian stewed Garlic on page 48 ( when time permits I'll make this and Chile-fy it
Boneless Chicken breasts with Red Chile Sauce on page 100..
Its really quite a good magazine (well this issue is anyway) Standard Disclaimers apply.
If push comes to shove I may cut the pages out and scan them thru my fax/printer/ b/w scanner rather
than typing, after reading the instruction manual..
I have about 60 Chile-tepin pods (Tx sourced seed 1n 97)
and
some Brasilian Manzanos (sourced in Woolgoolga last yr)
which i will de-seed expecting 200+ seeds, these are a red Manzano shaped like a fat Jalapeno 3 inches
long (75) mm 1 1/4 inches (30) mm n diameter,
The Manzanos I can grow, these came from my mother who has a greener thumb than me, (she also has
Fruit Fly) The Tepins also came from her , These I have had much trouble growing and I live in a warmer
area than her..
Aussie Ch- wanting seed can Contact me, I'll make some envelopes with 2-3 tepin pods and 10 or so
Manzano seeds ..
