Mint sauce
Photography by Nick Tressider.
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
2 tablespoons boiling water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
METHOD
Dissolve the sugar in boiling water, stir in the chopped mint, and infuse for 5-10 minutes before adding the lemon juice or vinegar to obtain the deepest green colour.
Proportions are a matter of personal preference. I allow 4 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh mint to 1 tablespoon of sugar dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water, then finished with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Taste and adjust the amounts of lemon juice or sugar.
