This mint simple syrup recipe uses fresh mint leaves, sugar, and water to create a minty fresh sweet syrup to add a refreshing lift to cocktails, mocktails, pastry glazes, and frozen desserts. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
I didn't measure the mint, but it was a good cup or cup and half, followed the recipe and is execellent. Using it for Mojito, one shot mint simple syrup, one jigger rum, one cup club soda, and ice. Yep, that's what I'm talking about. Very good! Thanks!

Got tons of mint to use up? Make this. I made a double batch, freezing one in ice cube trays. I used the rest to make iced drinks on a hot day. I just left a pitcher in the fridge and anyone can just add a tbsp or so to a glass of tea or sparkling water as they wish. Truly simple and easy to make and renders a drink even more refreshing. Thank you for the recipe.
Perfect for mojitos. Question though, if kept refrigerated, why is it only good for up to a month? Does this actually spoil or lose taste???
A French press works perfectly for steeping and straining the mint leaves. The syrup is great for hot or cold tea. Makes delicious Mint Juleps. Add lime juice for spectacular Mojitos.
Great and simple recipe. I use mint from my garden. I love keeping mint simple syrup on hand for cocktails, hot and iced tea, etc.
This was perfect for Mojitos. I did use a little more mint, and less sugar because I don't like Mojitos too sweet. This recipe works well.
I simmered for 10 minutes and allowed it to cool. In the past, I have stored this syrup in the refrigerator for months without any problems.
We have a very prodigious mint plant in the herb garden right now and we’re looking for ways to use it. Made a double batch of this mint simple syrup last night. Used a few ounces of it for the best Mojitos ever. Froze the remainder of the syrup in ice cube trays for easy serving-size storage, as each cube is about the right amount to sweeten a cocktail or a glass of iced tea.
I like a thicker syrup to use on waffles or pancakes as well as in drinks, tea, etc. So I cook it longer. I like to remove the leaves after waiting for it to steep, then reduce it.
Spot ON! Just in time for the Kentucky Derby and some Mint Juleps! We've done this for years and it 's perfect every time !
delish! i have made this twice:)
