Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add sugar and water to a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is clear.
  • Bring sugar water to a simmer and add whole mint leaves.
  • Stir the leaves gently so that they are more or less immersed in the liquid, but then step away and let them gently simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Check the syrup periodically and after it has reduced slightly and become syrupy, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool in the pot.
  • Once it has cooled, place a strainer over a jar and pour the syrup into the jar.
  • The syrup will keep in the fridge for up to a month.

Notes

Notes

  • Mix 1 ounce of this mint simple syrup to 2 ounces of bourbon over ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a delicious twist on a mint julep!
  • Enjoy!
