Phase 2:
Chop the mint and chilli into small pieces and place in a food processor. Blend until finely chopped.
Step 3:
Take a sterilized jar and make sure it is clean. Add 1 bay leaf and a few whole black peppers, then fill with the garlic cloves. Make sure you add some space to the top so it doesn’t overflow. Repeat the operation with the other jars.

Step 7:
Cover each of them with the lid. Don’t close yet.
Step 8:
Take a large pot with hot water, then place a piece of cloth or towel on the bottom, so that the glass does not burst later. Place each jar inside the pot.
Step 9:
Place the pan on the heat and let it boil for about 15 minutes. Once the operation is finished, remove them from the pan, pat them dry and close the lid tightly. This can be stored in a cool place for a year.
