 Villard, 1985).


 


 Wash and shake the mint leaves, sprinkle then with the sugar and chop


 them rather finely. Put in a bowl. Heat the vinegar and pour it over


 the mint. Add more sugar if you think the sauce is too sharp. Serve


 hot or cold with roasted lamb or other meat.


 


 Alternatives: Use lemon juice instead of vinegar and you can also add


 a little olive oil. This is not traditional mint sauce, being much


 less violent in flavor, but it is exceptionally good.
