Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 2/3 cup (160g) of Greek yogurt and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Rinse and pat dry 1/3 cup (30g) of fresh spearmint leaves. Finely chop the spearmint using a sharp knife.
- Add the finely chopped spearmint to the bowl containing the Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5g) of sugar over the yogurt and mint mixture.
- Using a spoon or small whisk, mix the ingredients together thoroughly until the spearmint and sugar are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more sugar, depending on your preference.
- Transfer the minted yogurt to a serving dish or individual bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a few additional whole mint leaves on top for an extra touch of freshness and presentation.
- If not serving immediately, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the yogurt to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 2-3 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh spearmint for the best flavor; dried mint won't provide the same burst of freshness.
- Allow the minted yoghurt to rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
- For a thinner consistency, you can add a small amount of milk or water to the mixture.
- If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, feel free to add more spearmint according to your taste.
- Pair minted yoghurt with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dip for pita bread.
Making minted yoghurt is a quick and straightforward process that can enhance a variety of dishes. With just three ingredients and minimal preparation time, you can whip up a fresh and zesty addition to your meal. Enjoy the unique blend of creamy yogurt and refreshing spearmint with the subtle sweetness of sugar, and take delight in this deliciously simple recipe.
