pressing the moistuire from the bread. Sprinkle the yeast & 1/4
teaspoon of sugar over the cup of lukewarm water and stir to dissolve
the yeast completely. Set aside in a warm place covered by a towel
for approx. 10-12 minutes or until. mixture doubles in volume. Add
the mint leaves, and remaining sugar, stir well then re-cover with
the towel and set aside for 8-12 hours more at room temperature.

container, add the raisins, cover the top with plastic wrap, secure
with a rubber band, and place in cool NOT cold, spot for 4-5 days or
until the raisins are floating and the sediment has sunk to the
bottom. Pour off the clear amber liquid and rebottle in a clean jug

When deciding on a dietary regime, the most important step is to make efforts to reduce intake of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
