Verification of private method in JMockit

I want to verify that a private method has been called in my JMockit test class. I don't want to mock the private method, only make sure it has been called.

Is this possible, and if so how?

(I found a similar question but there the private method was mocked, which I don't want if I can avoid it.) Here is an example of what I want to do.

public class UnderTest {

  public void methodPublic(){
    .....
    methodPrivate(aStringList);
    .....
  }

  private void methodPrivate(List<String> slist){
    //do stuff
  }
}

public class TestMyClass {

  @Tested
  UnderTest cut;

  @Mocked
  List<String> mockList;

  @Test
  public void testMyPublicMethod() {

    cut.methodPublic();

    new Verifications() {
      {
        // this doesnt work for me...
        invoke(cut, "methodPrivate", mockList);
        times = 1;
      }
    }
  }
}
