Method
Mint Simple Syrup Preparation
Prepare Mint Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add Mint Leaves
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh mint leaves to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Cool and Strain
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container, discarding the mint leaves. Your mint simple syrup is ready!
