Instructions

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.
