I’d like to make this as a Christmas gift. How does it keep?
Jessica Fisher
You’ll need to refrigerate it. I’ve never kept it longer than a week or two.

Does anyone know if you can use splenda instead of sugar to make this syrup?
Jessica Fisher
I have never cooked with splenda, so I don’t know. Hopefully, someone else will chime in.

I love to make an unsweetened mint tea. I have 18-20oz water bottles that I stick an 8-10 sprig of spearmint into and fill with water. I let that steep on the counter 24-36 hours. I usually make them in the morning while making my coffe and pull the mint out the next morning while making my coffee. Stick in the fridge and I have refreshing drinks ready to go.

mmm, i miss fresh herbs now that it’s winter in the midwest. sad 🙁
over the summer i made a fruit salad w/ a very light mint sauce…it was great!

Great recipes! The 2:1 ratio of sugar to water is the proportion, EVER. I think it was the first thing I learned to do in the kitchen with my mom. It’s great to use when making berry syrups in the summer, too!

Thanks for posting this. I made the mistake of planting mint in some of my flower beds and now I have – lots of mint – each year. I will be making this!
Jessica
@Hope, eww, yes. Mint is rather invasive, isn’t it. I think you have enough mint for life. Enjoy!

This recipe looks amazing. I been loving the mint hot cocoa
from Dunkin Donuts, but it can be so expensive.
Thanks for the recipe. I’m definitely going to try it.
