Ingredients
-
Fresh Mint Leaves (25g / about 1 cup, finely chopped)
-
Malt Vinegar (4 tbsp)
-
Caster Sugar (2 tsp)
-
Boiling Water (2 tbsp)

Salt (a pinch, optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh mint leaves, pat them dry, and finely chop them using a sharp knife or herb scissors. Place the chopped mint in a small bowl.
Add the boiling water and caster sugar to the mint, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
