Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh mint leaves stems removed
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves stems removed
  • 1 teaspoon ginger chopped

Instructions
 

  • Wash the mint and cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold water in a colander to remove any dirt. Shake off excess water.

  • Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate or serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
