Directions for Mint Syrup
1 cup of Water
1 cup of Suger
1 cup of packed mint leaves
Directions
Add water and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved into the water. Do not boil.
Remove from heat. Toss the mint leaves into the saucepan and put the lid on.
Steep the mint leaves for about 20 to 30 minutes. No longer. That can result in bitterness.
Strain into a clean container with a lid. Allow to cool.
Refrigerate for up to one week.
