Notes

The original recipe calls for shiso leaves; if you can't track them down, you can substitute mint, though the flavor won't be quite the same.

To make agave syrup, combine 1/4 cup agave nectar with 1/4 cup boiling water. Stir to dissolve. Cool before using. Agave syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
