Lemon Mint Syrup:
Method: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a boil. Once sugar is dissolved, remove from heat, Add Lemon Zest, If using Fresh mint add mint sprigs, and cover for ~10 minutes. Remove the lid and add back to a medium low heat. Bring to a simmer and simmer until it is desired thickness. about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. If using extract, add now and mix in. Strain and allow to cool without a lid. Once cool it’s ready to be sealed. Will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks to 1 month. If you are using Extract instead of fresh add it at the very end or it will boil out, We don’t recommend using both as it becomes over powering.
