A vibrant and refreshing syrup combining the sweetness of strawberries with the coolness of mint, perfect for mixing with water or adding a splash to your favorite beverages.
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
2 cups fresh strawberries
1 cup mint leaves
1 tbsp ginger slices
2 pieces lemon peels
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp vinegar
Method
Begin by pouring sugar and water into a sizable pot, heating the mixture until it reaches a rolling boil and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Introduce fresh strawberries, mint leaves, ginger slices, lemon peels, and lemon juice into the pot, and bring the blend back to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let the concoction simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vinegar. Allow the syrup to cool at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight for optimal flavor.
Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, deciding whether to keep the solids or discard them based on your preference.
Transfer the finished syrup into a sterilized container for storage at room temperature.
To enjoy, mix 1 part of the syrup with 4 to 6 parts water, and serve it chilled over ice.
