\nMint, another flavor of Spring and Summer\u2026a flavor we want to remember all year round.. and  Spring is officially almost here.. <\/em>
\nMint syrup  has become \u2018de rigeur\u2019 or a something we can\u2019t do without in my house during  the warmer months..to refresh..cool down and create all sorts of drinks and desserts..<\/strong>
\nMint Syrup
\n3 lbs of fresh peppermint leaves (no stems)
\n2 1\/2 cups sugar
\n1 fresh lemon
\n1\/2 cup water
\nWash and clean peppermint, remove leaves from stems.  Dry carefully. Pass leaves through  a potato ricer..  Place  this compost with juice from  the mint in a ceramic or glass bowl with juice of one lemon and peel of one lemon.. Let  sit ,covered for approx 2 hours. Place water and sugar in a saucepan and let bring to a boil, remove from heat let cool and before it thickens, pour into mint juice and stir. When syrup is cool, sieve out the peppermint leaves,  remove lemon peel and place in jars, top.
