Notes
A few tips:
Use a knife to cut the mint and not a food blender - as a blender will turn the mint leaves to pulp
If you use a spoon to slightly push the leaves down (when in the jug) this will release extra flavour
Made with spearmint - a small tea spoon of fresh mint sauce can add a lovely flavour to pasta meals,
