Ingredients
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
20 grams fresh mint leaves, stems removed
Directions
Place the granulated sugar, white wine vinegar, and fresh mint leaves (with stems removed) into a food processor or blender.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and the mint is finely broken down into the vinegar and sugar.
Pour the blended sauce into a serving bowl.
Let the sauce sit undisturbed for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to fully dissolve and the mint flavor to develop.
Stir gently before serving with your desired dishes.
Comments
All three ingredients are stocked year-round at every Charlotte grocer—sugar, vinegar, and mint (fresh or dried) carry no special-trip cost. At roughly 15 cents per serving for a condiment that keeps for weeks, this is essentially free. The stated ten minutes is honest: it's literally stirring sugar into warm vinegar and tearing mint leaves. This is a genuine weeknight workhorse for lamb, roasted vegetables, or cold leftover meats, reheats perfectly, and a single batch serves multiple dinners.
