Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (tightly packed) Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Green tea bag
Instructions
Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cool water and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves, forming a clear syrup (2-3 minutes).
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh mint leaves and green tea bag to the saucepan.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to help infuse the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool for 10 minutes. This will deepen the mint and tea flavor.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container or jar, discarding the mint leaves and tea bag.
Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature, then seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use Mint Tea Syrup to sweeten iced tea, craft refreshing cocktails, or drizzle over yogurt, fruit, or desserts for a minty twist.
