Ingredients

• 2 Cups of Granulated White Sugar

Directions

• Take 4-5 sprigs of fresh mint leaves and blot them dry.
• Muddle the mint leaves with a wooden spoon to release the mint oil.
• Combine 2 cups of granulated white sugar with the mint in a clean glass jar. Seal the jar and once or twice a week stir the sugar to break up clumps. 
• The more mint you add the more mint flavor your sugar will have.

Notes

• After the first few days the sugar will stop clumping as the herbs dry out and the dried leaves will begin to intersperse throughout the sugar after you stir.
