  • Put the pot on the stovetop at medium heat to simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

Tips
  • Use a strainer to remove the mint leaves from the final syrup.
  • Stir consistently through heating to prevent the syrup from scalding on the bottom of the pan.
  • Allow the syrup to cool for 1 - 2 hours before using so that it will thicken up.
Storing
  • Put it into an air tight container and keep it in the fridge for 2 - 4 weeks.
  • If it won't be used before that time, then you can freeze it.  Using ice cube trays works well.
