How to Make Mint Simple Syrup

Combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves and 2 tablespoons of honey.
Let the mixture steep for 30 minutes, or until the syrup has turned a vibrant green color.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently on the mint leaves to extract as much flavor as possible.
Discard the mint leaves and let the syrup cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
