"This is such a nice addition to that ... Mojito or favorite rum drink. Use a lime or orange to wet the rim of your glass; then, dip in the minted sugar. It is also fantastic sprinkled over your favorite mixed citrus/fruit salad. It is fantastic on fresh peaches or watermelon. These are my favorite uses; but, I am sure you can come up with others. I will last 3 days in the refrigerator in a sealed container - I usually use a small mason jar. And, you can easily cut this recipe in half. Also, you can add a little orange or lime zest to the mix as well. Cooking time DOES NOT include time for the sugar to dry on the counter before storing."
