Lemon balm sugar with peppermint note

updated

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 1 handful of lemon balm leaves
  • a few sprigs of peppermint
  • Sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 30 minutes

Wash the lemon balm and peppermint leaves thoroughly and dry them so that no water remains. The leaves should still be green, not rustling dry. Then remove the leaves from the stems and chop them finely. Crush them with sugar in a mortar and pestle, adding more sugar a little at a time. Spread them out on a larger surface lined with baking paper and let them dry. Crumble them occasionally with your fingers and sprinkle with a little more sugar if desired.
