Fresh mint leaves steep in fat-free milk to impart the herb’s essence; the taste is much better than that of mint extract. Unless milk is stabilized with a thickener such as flour or cornstarch, it will “break,” or curdle, when it becomes too hot; that’s why it’s important to go no higher than 180 degrees at the beginning of step one.
