Method
Directions
Prepare the Mint Infusion
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh mint leaves and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Steep the Mint
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and cover. Let the mint steep for about 30 minutes to extract the flavor.
Make the Simple Syrup
After steeping, strain the mint leaves from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer. Return the strained liquid to the saucepan and add the granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Add Food Coloring
Add the green food coloring to the mixture, stirring until the desired color is achieved.
Bottle and Store
Transfer the creme de menthe to a clean bottle or jar. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
