Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely chop the mint leaves, discarding the stalks.

  2. 2

    Place in a bowl and cover with the boiling water. Leave to steep for a few minutes, then drain over a sieve.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Stir together and leave for 20-30 minutes – to allow the flavour to develop. Then serve.
