Ingredients
- 4 cups, 3 tablespoons, 1-⅞ teaspoons, ¼ pinches Water
- 2 pounds, 3-⅓ ounces, weight Sugar
- 1 bunch Mint Leaves, Picked Off The Stems And Washed In Running Water

Preparation
Pick the mint leaves and wash in running water.
Heat water in a vessel and add sugar to it. Let the sugar dissolve; filter the sugar syrup with a thin muslin cloth. Boil it further on medium heat till the syrup becomes a bit thick, about 20 minutes. Take off heat and cool the syrup.
Add the mint leaves, grated ginger and juice of lemons. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours to let the mint flavor seep into the syrup.
Discard the leaves and other ingredients. Add green color if required. Store the concentrate in a clean glass bottle.
To make the drink, pour about 1 tablespoon of the concentrate and add water to suit your taste. Top it with crushed ice and serve the refreshing minty-lemony drink.
