Mint sauce (cold)

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 bunches Fresh mint; about 3 cups
¾ cup Sugar
½ cup Cider vinegar
¼ cup Water

Directions

Chop the cleaned and de-stemmed mint leaves on a large board. When the pieces are becoming small, dump the sugar on top. The sugar absorbs the mint oil and juices and helps you to chop the leaves *very* finely. Put the sugar-and-leaf mixture in a jar and add the vinegar and water. Let this stand at least overnight before serving. It will keep almost indefinitely and actually improves with age. Makes about 1½ cups.

NOTES : To get the leaves off of fresh mint, hold the top of the stalk and pull down.
