How to Make Mint Syrup For Tea
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water.
- Over medium-low heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- While the syrup simmers, gently rinse 1 cup of fresh mint leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Once the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is clear, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the rinsed mint leaves to the syrup, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let it steep for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, pressing gently on the mint leaves to extract as much syrup as possible.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before storing.
- Transfer the cooled syrup to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for 3-4 weeks.
