How to Make Mint Syrup For Tea

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water.
  2. Over medium-low heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. While the syrup simmers, gently rinse 1 cup of fresh mint leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  4. Once the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is clear, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Add the rinsed mint leaves to the syrup, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let it steep for 30 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. Allow the syrup to cool completely before storing.
  8. Transfer the cooled syrup to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for 3-4 weeks.
