Mint Syrup--Makes a very refreshing glass of tea!
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh mint
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- Tie mint in a cheesecloth bag, and place in a saucepan. Add sugar and 2 cups water; bring mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat; cover and let cool. Remove and discard cheesecloth bag.
Note: I did not have cheesecloth, so I steeped the mint in the sugar water and strained it after it was cool. Also, I used less than 1 bunch of mint.
Do you have to store this in your fridge or does it not have to be?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do keep it in the refrigerator. It should last a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we put in about 2 tbsp. in a glass of tea, but if you like it sweeter, or less sweet, just adjust to taste.
