Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (or other herbs)

• 1/2 cup organic sugar

Directions

1. Gather mint leaves and separate them from stems. Gently wash the leaves if needed and dry thoroughly (a salad spinner can help with this – it’s important to dry thoroughly)

2. Combine fresh mint leaves with sugar in a blender or food processor.

3. Blend until mixture is fine and there are no visible mint leaves left. Sugar will take on a slight green color.

4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and use within a week or two.
