- 2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 6 large lemons
- 1 kilograms sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- a pinch green color (food grade)(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Pick the mint leaves and wash them in running water.
Step 2
Clean and grate the ginger.
Step 3
Heat water in a vessel and add sugar to it. Let the sugar dissolve, then filter the sugar syrup through a thin muslin cloth.
Step 4
Boil the filtered syrup further on medium heat until it becomes a bit thick, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool the syrup.
Step 5
To the cooled syrup, add the mint leaves, grated ginger, and juice from the lemons. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours to let the mint flavor seep into the syrup. Add green color if required.
Step 6
Store the concentrate in a clean glass bottle.
Step 7
To make the drink, pour about 1 tablespoon of the concentrate and add water to suit your taste.
Step 8
Top it with crushed ice and serve the refreshing Minty-lemony drink.
