[Sca-cooks] candied mint

[kattratt]

Failry Easy actually

Take egg whites (or as in my case for simplicity sake an egg white 
substitute)
Take cleaned mint leaves and dry them off with a paper towel.
Put some regular old table sugar on a plate.  (Ie Not Powdered sugar)
Dip the leaves into the egg whites, dredge them in the sugar, and then 
place them somewhere to dry.  
Consume and enjoy.
