MINT TEA SYRUP



Mint Tea Syrup image

I make regular iced tea, and use this to add to it. Using a squeeze bottle makes it more convient to add to an individual glass of tea. From Chef Bobo's Good Food Cookbook, by Robert Surles.

Provided by WiteShadow

Categories     Beverages

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 bunch of fresh mint
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • Bring all items to boil.
  • Stir in sugar.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Let steep for 30 minutes.
  • Strain syrup.
  • Transfer to squeeze bottle and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint leaves: Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor for simple syrup. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Choose the right sugar: Granulated sugar is the most common type of sugar used to make simple syrup, but you can also use other types of sugar, such as brown sugar or honey. Different sugars will give the syrup a different flavor, so experiment to find the one you like best.
  • Don't boil the syrup: Boiling the syrup will cause it to caramelize and change color. Instead, bring the mixture to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the syrup cool completely: Before using the syrup, let it cool completely to room temperature. This will help the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Store the syrup properly: Simple syrup can be stored in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to label the jar or bottle with the date it was made.

Conclusion:

Mint simple syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of drinks and desserts. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its refreshing mint flavor, mint simple syrup is a great way to add a touch of sweetness and sophistication to your favorite recipes.
