Making Mint Sauce

 

Ingredients:


• 2–3 bunches of fresh mint leaves (and stalks if they are tender)

• 1–2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar

• 4–6 teaspoons of brown or white regular sugar (brown is better if you have it handy)


Method:


1. Wash the mint well and discard any stalks which are thick and tough. Then chop finely.


2. Place the mint in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Give it a stir and it should be a thick consistency. If you need a little more vinegar, add a little at a time until you are happy with the thickness. You should be able to have a blob of mint sauce on a teaspoon without it being watery.


3. Next, add a few teaspoons of sugar and stir well. Taste the mixture and add a little more sugar until it is as sweet or sharp to your liking.


4. Once happy with the balance of the taste, place the sauce in the fridge (minimum of 30 minutes) until you are ready to use it.


5. It will keep for a few days if it is kept in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
