I always make a load and pot it into small jam jars.  Lasts for ages, because of the vinegar!

I think it's best freshly made grannie, so that the leaves don't actually get pickled just fresh and sitting in vinagar.

Try heating up a pork pie in the microwave, and eat with hot mushy peas, with mint sauce on the pie. Brilliant.

Ice cube tray is a good method. Bang mint, sugar & vinegar into liquidiser. Whizz - pour into tray, knock out & bag when frozen. Easy!
