Candied Mint Leaves
Fresh mint leaves
1 egg white, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons sugar
1 drop mint extract
Prepare the mint leaves by removing from the stem. Using your fingers, gently rub the egg white onto each leaf. Lay the leaves out on a sheet of parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine sugar and mint extract, mixing well. Sprinkle or sift the sugar mixture over the mint leaves. Allow to dry. When crisp, the mint leaves are ready to use.
My original purpose in making these candied mint leaves was for garnishing the chocolate dessert, but now I'm also thinking how great they would be in a pitcher of LEMONADE. Actually, a Dark Chocolate Mint Julep Pie served with lemonade and candied mint leaves sounds like a great plan for a birthday party.
