1. A large sprig of Spearmint leaves (Lady Marchmont's Organic garden - choose only young, healthy leaves - they should remind you of a fresh faced adolescent on the very cusp of manhood)
2. 8oz. pure double-refined, elegant, white sugar
3. 3/4 of a pint of thick dark malt vinegar
PROCEDURE
1) Reverentially wash the mint leaves in fresh spring water. Use the water from an Artesian well if you have one.
2) Minutely chop the leaves until effervescent.
3) Three quarters fill a row of small glass Piedmont airtight jars with the heavenly-chlorophyllic shavings and leave to unwind (DO NOT USE BABY FOOD JARS - In fact do not have babies at all, no amount of gourmet cooking will rid your house of the smell of baby sick)
