Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup White Sugar

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water.
  • Stir until the sugar dissolves. Do not let the mixture boil.
  • Remove from heat and add the mint leaves.
  • Let steep for 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Steep longer for stronger mint flavor. (Peppermint: steep only 10-15 minutes.)

  • For extra clarity, strain again through cheesecloth to remove fine particles.
  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
