Green Mint Vinegar

Ingredients

• 2 cups loosely packed Fresh mint leaves, clean (Enough to loosely fill a 16-ounce bottle)
• 2 cups White vinegar or white wine vinegar (Good quality vinegar)

Instructions

1. 1Wash and thoroughly dry fresh mint leaves. Ensure they are completely clean and free of moisture to prevent spoilage.
2. 2Place the clean mint leaves into a wide-mouthed bottle or jar, filling it loosely. Do not pack the leaves tightly.
3. 3Pour vinegar over the mint leaves to fill the bottle completely. Seal tightly with a cork or non-reactive lid.
4. 4Store the sealed bottle in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks to allow the mint flavor to infuse into the vinegar.
5. 5After 2-3 weeks, pour the vinegar through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bottle, leaving the mint leaves behind. Discard the used mint leaves.
6. 6Cork or cap the bottle tightly and store in a cool, dark place. The mint vinegar will keep for up to 6 months. Serve with lamb or kid when fresh mint is not available.
