Introduction
Simple syrup is what bartenders use to sweeten cocktails, by dissolving sugar in water. This syrup is infused with mint leaves and is a key ingredient in The Kimmy cocktail. You can also stir it into sparkling water for a delicious soda, or add it to a mojito.
Ingredients
| 1 | cup loosely packed spearmint leaves |
| 1 | cup sugar |
| 1 | cup water |
Steps
- In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool in the pan.
- Strain, pressing the syrup out of the mint leaves. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator until ready to use.
