Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fresh Mint Simple Syrup.
Step 1
Begin by placing a small saucepan on the stove and adding water, sugar, and fresh mint leaves.
Step 2
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Once it reaches a gentle boil, lower the heat and allow it to simmer for one minute, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 4
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup steep for about 30 minutes to intensify the mint essence.
Step 5
Once steeped, carefully strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a sterilized glass jar, discarding the mint leaves.
Step 6
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar, and enjoy the refreshing taste of homemade mint syrup in your favorite beverages or desserts.
