Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons dried mint 2 tablespoons if you prefer less mint flavor
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the dried mint. Let the mixture steep as it cools for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on desired strength. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves. Transfer to a clean, airtight container, and refrigerate.
Notes
Makes about 1.5 cups. Serving size is about 2 tablespoons, so about 12 servings per batch.
Ensure syrup is fully cooled before storing to prevent condensation.
Store the syrup in a clean airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 4 weeks. For the freshest, minty-est, flavor, use within the first 2 weeks. For maximum shelf life, ensure the syrup is strained of all fresh mint leaves and fully cooled before refrigerating.
Use less mint for a milder syrup. Use more mint for a bolder syrup.
