Ingredients

• 1 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
• 2 cups white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 2

Place the cleaned mint leaves in a heat-proof glass jar or bottle with a tightly fitting lid.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let the vinegar boil.

Step 4

Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the vinegar cool for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the mint leaves in the jar, ensuring the leaves are entirely submerged.

Step 6

Seal the jar tightly and let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 7

After 2 weeks, strain the vinegar into a clean jar or bottle to remove the mint leaves. Discard the leaves.

Step 8

Seal the bottle and store your mint vinegar in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Shake before use.
