Method
Preparation of Mint Syrup
Make Mint Infusion
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Pour in water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Simmer and Cool
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat, cover, and let it steep for about 30 minutes.
Strain the Syrup
After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar to remove the mint leaves. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
Combining Ingredients
Combine Syrup with Alcohol
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the cooled mint syrup with the high-proof alcohol. Stir well to combine.
Add Food Coloring (optional)
If you want a vibrant color, add a few drops of green food coloring and stir until fully incorporated.
