Green Mint Sauce

Take some young freshly-gathered leaves of mint, wash and drain them, and chop them as fine as possible. Mix a dessert-spoonful of pounded sugar with a table-spoonful of chopped mint. Leave it for an hour; then add two tablespoonfuls of good vinegar. Some persons put two parts of mint with one of parsley. If time is a consideration, the vinegar may be added at once, but the flavour will not be so good. Probable cost, 2d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
