Ingredients
  

  • 10 + Mint leaves*
  • 1 Egg White or Aquafaba chickpea water
  • Caster Sugar

Method
 

  1. Whisk egg white until frothy.
  2. Prepare a tray with baking paper.
  3. Lightly coat the mint leaves in egg white by dipping them in and wiping off excess on the edge of the bowl.
  4. Sprinkle both sides with sugar and place on the baking paper tray.
  5. Allow to rest at room temperature for 6 hours + or overnight. I stored them in my dehydrator (switched off) to keep any bugs off.
  6. Store in an airtight container and use within a day or two.

Notes

* Try with edible flowers or other herbs such as pineapple sage
