DateTime AddMinutes method not working

Question

The purpose of my method is to get the currentTime, and set it back for 20 minutes. For what I can see, my method is correct, but the output shows something else.

This i my code:

DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;
double minuts = -20;
currentTime.AddMinutes(minuts);

Console.WriteLine("Nuværende tid: "+currentTime);

The output are as followed:

25-11-2011 14:01:54

My result should be:

25-11-2011 13:41:54.

Thanks!
