Candied Mint Leaves
Candied mint leaves are a great option to add a little sweet to your iced tea or a unique garnish to your desserts!
Ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- 12 fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the mint leaves. Take them off of the stems completely.
- Beat the egg white until it turns frothy. Brush the egg mixture onto the mint leaves. Be sure to coat both sides.
- Sprinkle the sugar onto both sides of the leaves as well. If you can't find superfine sugar, take regular white sugar and put it into the food processor to make it a bit smaller.
- Transfer the leaves onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure the leaves don't touch one another.
- Leave the leaves out and wait 24 hours for them to dry completely. Once they are dry, you can store them in an airtight container or use them right away.
