Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

3/4 cup sugar
1 large bunch fresh mint (about 1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Stir together the sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sugar completely dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Use your hands to tear the bunch of mint in half and add it to the saucepan. Using a spoon, press down the mint to make sure that it is completely submerged. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature in the saucepan, about 1 hour. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the mint to extract as much flavor as possible. The syrup can be used immediately and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter syrup: You can add more sugar to taste.
  • For a stronger mint flavor: Use more mint leaves or steep the leaves in the hot water for longer.
  • For a more vibrant green color: Use fresh mint leaves that are a deep green color.
  • To make a sugar-free syrup: Use a sugar substitute such as stevia or monk fruit.
  • To store the syrup: Keep the syrup in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Fresh mint syrup is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of drinks and desserts. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a refreshing summer drink or a sweet treat, fresh mint syrup is a great option.
