Mint sauce is a condiment made primarily from fresh mint leaves, vinegar, and sugar. It is commonly used in British cuisine, particularly as a sauce for roasted meats, especially lamb. The bright green sauce adds a refreshing flavor that complements the richness of the meat. The preparation of mint sauce is simple; the mint leaves are finely chopped and mixed with vinegar and sugar to create a sweet and tangy taste. Some variations may include additional ingredients like water or lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Mint sauce is often served alongside dishes during special occasions and festive meals.
