Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Here’s how to make your own mint syrup:

  1. Combine water and sugar in a pot. Heat on medium
  2. Stir the mix until the sugar is all gone
  3. Add mint leaves and let it simmer for about 1 minute
  4. Take it off the heat. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Can leave up to 30 minutes for a more intense mint flavour
  5. To remove the mint leaves, Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, sterilized glass jar

Notes

  • Pick mint leaves that are fresh and smell strong. Don’t use leaves that are old. For a stronger mint taste, crush the leaves gently before adding them
  • Keep your mint syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge. It stays good for two weeks. To make it last longer, put a bit of vodka in it
  • Freeze in ice cube trays for much longer use
