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.
