This drink is so refreshing and perfect for the summer! If you are sensitive to sugar, you can control how much of the simple syrup you use in the recipe. This recipe was created by Kerri Cole (@icfood4u).
To make the Mint Simple Syrup:
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water and sugar just to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Add the mint leaves.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, without stirring, until the syrup is slightly reduced and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the syrup to a small metal bowl and let stand to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Discard the mint leaves. You can use the syrup immediately, or let it cool to room temperature. Store in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator for up to six months.
