  • Small Jar

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cups water
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Heat the water and sugar in a small pot over medium high heat.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add the mint, and let the mint sit in the syrup to infuse, at least one hour.

Notes

I like to use whole sprigs for ease of straining plus the added flavor from the stems.
