Yield: 10 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 bunches | Fresh mint; about 3 cups |
| ¾ cup | Sugar |
| ½ cup | Cider vinegar |
| ¼ cup | Water |
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.
