Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large bunch of fresh mint ((about 30g/1oz or a packed cup or leaves) )
  • 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
  • 2 tsp sugar ((caster/superfine is best))
  • 2 tbsp malt vinegar
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instruction

  • Finely chop the mint leaves, discarding the stalks.
  • Place in a bowl and cover with the boiling water. Leave to steep for a few minutes, then drain over a sieve.
  • Give the leaves a rinse with cold water whilst still in the sieve (to stop the cooking process) and place in a small serving bowl with the sugar, vinegar and salt.
  • Stir together and leave for 20-30 minutes – to allow the flavour to develop. Then serve.
