Mint Sauce. Spearmint is preferred, though peppermint is some- times used. It should be young and fresh, well washed and drained, or dried on a cloth, and chopped. The chopped mint is then mixed with sugar, either brown, granulated, or powdered, the latter extracting the juices more rapidly. After this has stood for a time, vinegar is added, and the whole left for an hour or two before serving. These proportions may be varied : One-half cup of chopped mint, one-fourth cup of sugar, one cup of vinegar

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
