Ingredients
Scale
- A large bunch of fresh mint
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons boiling water
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Remove the leaves from the stems, wash, dry, and chop them finely.
- Place the chopped leaves in a heatproof jug, sprinkle with sugar, then pour over the boiling water.
- Stir lightly, cover, and let it cool completely.
- Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the white wine vinegar. Taste and adjust.
- Allow the sauce to rest for at least an hour. The mint will slowly release its oils into the syrup and vinegar, resulting in a bright, balanced flavour.
