What You Will Need

– 1 cup water – 1/2 cup sugar – 1 cup fresh mint leaves – 2 cups ginger ale – Crushed ice – Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

1

Rinse the mint leaves thoroughly. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Place the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

2

Add the mint leaves, and gently muddle the leaves to release the oils. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

3

Once the syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine mesh strainer. Cool syrup to room temperature. Fill a silver cup or glass cup with crushed ice. Add 1/4 of mint simple syrup to each cup.

Pour 1/2 cup of ginger ale into each cup. Give a quick and gentle stir. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Enjoy!
