Mint infused simple syrup - ice tea perfect

I make cold brewed unsweetened ice tea pretty much everyday. It refreshing and a nice alternative to juices. I usually add some mint and lemon and enjoy. My husband likes it slightly sweetened. So with that I decided I should just make a mint infused simple syrup to store in the fridge and add to the ice tea. This is so simple and if you have a mint plant, it's a perfect way to use some up!

Step one :get as much mint as you want. I want mine super minty so I added ALOT!

Step 2: add 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water

Step 3: bring to a boil, stir to make sure all the sugar is dissolved. Take off from the heat and let it sit for 45 mins or when u remember!
Step 4: strain and enjoy. I use about 2tbs for each big pitcher

  1. Nice idea! We have a ton of chocolate mint and peppermint growing in the garden (pretty much the only think quail and rabbits don't eat).
