Mint Syrup

Ingredients (3 cups):

• 2 cups sugar,
• 2 cups water,
• 2 cups fresh mint.

Algorithm:

1. Heat the sugar and water in a small pot and bring to boil.
2. Chop the mint coarsely and put it into a larger heatproof pot or bowl (such that you can put a lid over it).
3. When the sugar has disolved and the solution is boiling, pour it over the mint, cover with a lid and let steep until cold.
4. Transfer to a bottle.
