I have lots of it (even started 3 new plants!) and have no idea how to use it...

Add it to iced or hot tea. Steep sprigs in hot water to make a tea by itself.
Chop it up in a salad, cake, cookies, ice cream.
Or just cut sprigs of it to have in a vase of water in the house.
I steep some in the melted Goats Milk soap base when I make soap for my grandsons.
