How to Make Mint Simple Syrup

[@maggiemaecrawley5939]

Needed a good recipe for mint syrup to add to my matcha lattes thank you so much!

[@crochetgottaloveit]

I'm just learning how to make simple syrups and I have Chocolate Mint growing. I have to try this! Thank you.

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Chocolate mint should work great in this recipe.

Hi how long do you boil

[@sofyhungey]

This looks so interesting

[@creativemind3817]

[@SandraCalixto]

What a great, easy recipe. Thanks for sharing, Shelly! :)

Thanks Sandra!

So I have a huge patch of peppermint in my backyard so I use it a lot for tea would this be good for sweetening regular Black Tea and also what is the consistency

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Ingada 2 It would work to sweeten black tea. The consistency is thicker than water but not quite as thick as pancake syrup when it's cooled.

[@ingada218]

Thanks! I will be sure to make some.

[@TysonDorey]

this method is spot on for getting the oil out but if you also wanted the colour just throw it in a vitamix and run it through a fine mesh👍

[@zeroryoko999]

Did that as well. I blitzed it with my Ninja. However, I made a concentrate of Mint Syrup. It isn't perfected and it's gonna be used to make gummies instead.

[@madhurikagupta8923]

Can this mint syrup be used as ice cream flavour?

[@frugalfamilyhome]

I'm sure it would work for that too.

[@madhurikagupta8923]

@@frugalfamilyhome thanks a lot for helping me out

can i use it to sweeten coffee?

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Yes it should work great in coffee.

ah cool been looking to do one for a mint mocha

[@AllAmericanGuy01]

I noticed you used the steeping method. What are your thoughts on boiling the mints with the sugar and water?

[@frugalfamilyhome]

AllAmericanGuy01 I think that would work too, I've just always used the steeping method.

[@TysonDorey]

adding the mint at the beginning of the reducing process will give it a darker hue, but there’s nothing wrong with it unless you’re worried about the colour.

How long can we store this? With or without refrigerator

[@frugalfamilyhome]

I store ours in the refrigerator for about a month.

[@alektad]

Yeah can also freeze it to store long term

[@nikolett.harsfa]

Hi! Does it work with sweetener? For example with erithrit? If yes, what could be the volume of it?

[@cgregornik]

Hello Nikolett, I have never tried erithrit but upon researching it looks as if it would work. Being only 60 to 80 percent as sweet as sugar I would use 1/2 a cup per cup of water but I would also increase the amount of mint to 1/2 as well. I like my simple syrup light and my mint stronger than what is shown here. Try it, at worst it will be not sweet enough; where you would just add more sweetener after reheating. Or too sweet where you would just add more water.

[@frugalfamilyhome]

We store it in the refrigerator for about a month. I hope that helps.

How long we can store it❓

[@frugalfamilyhome]

We store ours in the refrigerator for a week or two. It never last too long. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays to store it longer.
