Other Information

*Mint Syrup INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup Fresh mint leaves, tightly packed
• 3 oz Simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)

PREPARATION: Bring a small saucepan half-full of water to a boil over high heat. Add the mint and blanch until wilted and bright green, about 5 seconds. Strain and add to a blender with the simple syrup. Blend until thoroughly liquefied and strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly to extract all the liquid. Refrigerate before using. (Recipe yields about 3 ounces, enough for 6 drinks.)
