Instructions
Rinse and dry the fresh mint, then place it onto a cutting board. Sprinkle the sugar on top.
Using a sharp knife, finely chop up the mint.
Transfer the mint and sugar mixture into a small mixing bowl. Then, add the boiling water and stir it together, using the handle of a wooden spoon to gently pound the mint (*see note).
Next, add the vinegar and mix it all together. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the sauce to sit at room temperature for one hour so that the flavors can fully blend.
Season to taste with optional salt and pepper after the flavors have had a chance to 'marry' and before serving.
Notes
You want your mint to be finely chopped, but don't use a food processor because it will puree the mint, giving you a mushy sauce.
Pounding the mint helps to extract the flavor, so don't skip it!
You can use a muddler (from a bar kit) to pound your mint as well.
To store: You can store this mint sauce in a sealed jar in the fridge for 2-3 days, but the green color will lose its vibrancy after a few hours. It is best enjoyed immediately.
