How to Make Mint Tea Syrup

Combine 2 cups water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, stir in the sugar until completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes, allowing the mint to infuse the syrup.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the flavorful liquid.
Discard the used mint leaves. Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean squeeze bottle or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
