Wash leaves
Rinse the Mint Leaves under cold water, then shake off the excess and pat them dry with a clean towel. Dry leaves are easier to chop and keep the sauce from turning watery.
Chop finely
Strip the leaves from any thick stems if needed, then gather the mint into a tight pile and chop it as finely as you can. Aim for tiny, even pieces so the sauce looks speckled and the flavour spreads through every spoonful.
Mix the sauce
Put the chopped mint in a small bowl and stir in 2 tsp of Caster Sugar and 0.3 tsp of Fine Salt. Pour over 2 tbsp of Boiling Water and 4 tbsp of Malt Vinegar, then stir until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is evenly flecked with mint.
Let it stand
Leave the sauce to stand for 10 minutes so the mint softens slightly and the flavours meld together. Give it one last stir before serving.
Serve the sauce
Spoon the mint sauce into a small serving bowl and serve it straight away.
