This cool, sweet & tingly mint Infused Sugar is the perfect topping to your favorite desserts & foods.

Ingredients

4-5 Sprigs of Fresh Mint Leaves
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.
