"now is the time to make a circle with mints, do not haste any longer"
I've searched the internet and found many references to the fortune, but no specific meanings. What does the circle of mints mean? Is it part of a meditation ritual or something? help!

did you know that the fortune cookie is an American invention, so don't read too much into it..

Perhaps it is referring to mint plants and not breath mints. Plant a circle of mint and stand in the middle and enjoy the fragrance. Another way of saying "Stop and smell the roses".
Or, perhaps a circle of mint is an ancient ritual to ward off evil spirits, such as hanging garlic by the doorway to keep vampires at bay.
My advice, make a circle of mints, don't haste, and see what happens! It can't hurt!

It means to take that minty cookie, break it down into a circle and eat all of its parts. That may assist with some of your bad breath, but brushing, flossing, and in your case mouthwash would be a beginning. If you have a cavity, seek a dentist immediately ("do not haste any longer").

Fortune cookies only make sense when you add the phrase "in bed" to complete the sentence. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, now I get it!

the fortune cookie is telling you to rest and clear your thoughts of all the bad things in your head >:)

It is the yin and yan, the 2 halves
One half you have bad teeth/the other half is your bad breath

What a polite way of telling you that you have bad breath!
