Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Rinse the mint leaves and stems and and pat dry with a clean towel.

  2. Remove the mint leaves from the stems and finely chop the leaves by hand. *Do not use a food processor as it doesn't work as well. Compost the unused stems or chop them up and feed to your chickens.

  3. Pour the boiling hot water over the chopped leaves in a small bowl.

  4. Let the leaves steep in the hot water for 20 minutes.

  5. Stir in the cider vinegar, sea salt and finely ground pepper.

  6. Serve immediately if desired. Alternatively, pour the sauce into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to blend further. Stir before serving.
