Notes

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