Easy Mint Sauce Recipe
This tasty, easy-to-make mint sauce recipe comes together in minutes and perfectly balances fresh, umami, and sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves and stems
- 2 tablespoons distilled vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons hot boiling water
Instructions
- Finely mince the fresh mint and add it to a medium-sized bowl.
- Next, add in the vinegar and honey.
- Begin to stir the sauce while very slowly pouring in some hot boiling water 1 to 2 teaspoons at a time until it becomes a thick sauce like consistency and the ingredients are combined.
- Adjust the sweetness level to your liking with more honey. Optionally season with salt.
- Store or serve.
Notes
Make-Ahead: You can make this mint sauce up to 3 days ahead of time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
How to Freeze: Keep covered in the freezer for up to 2 months. I like to put them in silicone ice cream trays and pull them out as needed.
Just like in a soup recipe, this will taste better a few days later as flavors will infuse more.
Be sure to use the stems in the mint, as they have a lot of flavor. Make sure they are tender.
