This makes a sharp flavoured sauce.
4) Alternatively, put the chopped mint leaves in a mortar and sprinkle with sugar; use about 1 tablespoon, the quantity of sugar depends on how sweet you like it.
5) Pound in the mortar with the pestle until fairly well crushed.
6) Leave for 1/2 hour, and by this time the sugar will have extracted the juice from the mint.
