How to Make Mint Grape Beverage

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool slightly. Pour the syrup over 1 cup of fresh mint leaves in a large pitcher.
Add 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice to the pitcher. Cover and let steep for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a stronger mint flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean pitcher, discarding the mint leaves and any solids.
Stir in 4 cups of chilled white grape juice.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
Just before serving, gently stir in 2 cups of chilled ginger ale.
Garnish each serving with a few fresh mint leaves and a lemon wedge. Serve over ice immediately.
