- 4. For a special treat, pour it over a slice of plain pound cake, ice cream or pancakes.
Tips:
- Choose fresh mint leaves: The fresher the mint leaves, the more flavorful your syrup will be. Look for leaves that are deep green and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of mint: There are many different types of mint, each with its own unique flavor. Experiment with different types to find one that you like best. Some popular varieties include spearmint, peppermint, and chocolate mint.
- Use a good quality sugar: The type of sugar you use will also affect the flavor of your syrup. Use a granulated sugar that is free of impurities.
- Don't boil the syrup: Boiling the syrup will cause it to lose its flavor and color. Instead, bring the mixture to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
- Let the syrup cool completely before storing it: Once the syrup has cooled, store it in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
