• 100 g of granulated sugar;
• ½ tsp. corn starch;
• 12-15 leaves of fresh mint.

2. Combine the yolks with the sugar. Using a blender, beat until light and fluffy. Add the starch and beat again.
3. Strain the milk through a sieve. Squeeze more mint leaves to keep more essential oil in the milk.
4. Put peppermint milk on the fire and add butter. Stirring, pour a trickle of the egg yolk mixture. Cook over low heat until the mass begins to thicken. Do not bring it to a boil! Otherwise, the yolks will curl.
5. Strain the preform through a sieve again to filter out any lumps and film of milk. Cool.
