Directions
 

Step 1

ICE BOWL: Bring large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Have ice bath and strainer on hand

  • 1 bunch Mint, stemmed

Step 2

Drop in mint leaves and boil for 1 minute. Strain, then transfer to ice bath Once chilled, put mint and one cup of water in a blender and puree.

Ingredients

  • 2 large Plastic Bowl, one, two inches smaller than the other

Step 3

Into the largest bowl, pour in mint purée carefully through strainer. Add remaining water to the bowl until it is 1/2 full. Place smaller bowl in center and weigh down – but not too much – watch that you have a thick enough bottom. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap so that the smaller bowl sits in the center of the larger bowl, and freeze over-night.
