Refreshing Strawberry Ginger Mint Syrup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Strawberry Ginger Mint Syrup.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing the sugar and water to a vigorous boil in a large pot. Stir occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a sweet syrup. Once dissolved, add in the chopped strawberries, fresh mint, sliced ginger, lemon peels, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir everything together and bring the mixture back to a boil. After it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Once the time is up, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the white balsamic vinegar, which adds a lovely tang to the syrup. Now, let the syrup cool and stand at room temperature overnight. This resting period is crucial as it enhances the flavors even more. The next day, strain the syrup through a fine sieve to remove the solid fruits, leaving you with a smooth, vibrant syrup. Store your syrup in a sterile container at room temperature, ready to be used in your favorite drinks or desserts. To enjoy, simply mix one part of this delightful syrup with four to six parts of water, and serve it chilled over ice for a refreshing treat.
