Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1¾ cups white wine vinegar
½ cup sugar
1½ cups lightly packed fresh mint leaves, very finely chopped
Salt

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar and sugar to a strong simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer the mixture until the liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, about 16 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Off heat, set the pan aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the chopped mint; add the rest of the mint and a pinch of salt to the vinegar mixture, stir to blend, and set aside to infuse for about 10 minutes. Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl and strain the mixture (you should have about ¾ cup). Stir in the reserved 3 tablespoons mint and serve (can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days).
