How to Make Turkish Mint Drink

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar.
  4. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves (packed). Remove from heat immediately.
  6. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let it steep until completely cool (approximately 30 minutes).
  7. Once cool, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the mint leaves.
  8. Transfer the drink to clean, dry bottles. Add a few fresh mint sprigs to each bottle for added flavor and visual appeal.
