@thecolorfulpantry: Don’t boil the mint when you make mint syrup 🌿 Mint does better with a gentler steeping extraction. Mint Syrup 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 1 cup fresh mint Heat the sugar + water until dissolved → remove from heat → add mint → cover → steep 15–20 min → strain. Bright, fresh mint flavor without unnecessarily cooking the leaves. Use it for lemonade, mojitos, iced tea, cocktails + mocktails.
