Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh mint
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add mint and increase the heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to low, replace the lid and simmer gently for 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly to a syrupy texture.
  • Remove from the heat and cover until the mixture cools. The longer you leave it, the stronger the mint flavor will be. Cool in the fridge if you're short on time.
