Mint sugar?

[KerrynN]

Hi all,

My DS has been enjoying making chocolate custard. Last time he made it we thought it would taste nice as choc mint. This had me wondering how to add the mint. I thought we could just add peppermint essence instead of the vanilla, and this got me thinking about vanilla sugar and if you could do a similar thing with mint.

So, does anyone see any problem with putting some peppermint leaves from the garden into some milled sugar to infuse the peppermint flavour - just as you would put a vanilla bean into sugar to make vanilla sugar?

Interesting concept. For chocmint custard I use choc mint lindt 30-50g in place of the cocoa per 500ml
