Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Pull the leaves from the stalk of the mint. Roughly chop the leaves.
- Place the chopped mint leaves into a heatproof jug, sprinkle over the sugar, then pour over the boiling water. Stir gently, cover, and place to one side, and leave to cool.
- Once cool, stir in the vinegar and taste the sauce. If it is too strong, just add a little more water. Too weak, add more mint. Cover again and leave to one side for at least an hour, longer if you have the time. The mint flavor will seep into the sugar-vinegar as it sits. Use the mint sauce or store in the fridge for up to two weeks.

MINT SAUCE
I grew up with this in the UK, and this is how everyone made it. I would be surprised if any pub had additional ingredients. Mint has a sweetness of its own, but a little sugar would be okay, if the diner had a desire for extra sweetness - no more that 1/2 teaspoon. Cider or malt vinegar can be used for the vinegar if you prefer. This sauce is traditionally served with lamb.

Steps:
- 1. Place the water, vinegar, and confectioners' sugar in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH until at a good rolling boil, about 45 minutes. 2. Remove the lid and let the liquid evaporate a bit while you remove the spearmint leaves from their stems and finely chop them. Add the mint and salt to the cooker, cover, and cook until the leaves are limp, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several days, but the mint will lose some of its fresh flavor.
