There are many reason to make this mint syrup – it's fast to make, it lasts well in the fridge and it infuses any drink with the fresh, summery taste of mint. Best of all, it uses up mint bunches in a flash (if you have ever planted mint and watched it take over your garden you need ideas on how to harvest this fragrant herb).
Drink-wise, you can use it in lemonade or iced tea (you can even try some in your latte). Cocktails such mojitos or gin and tonics always benefit from a splash and you can even drizzle it on pound cake as a glaze or use it to flavour icing. Last but not least try adding it to homemade sorbets or tossing with strawberries.
