THE SAUCE:

You’ll need:

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 bunch of mint leaves, minced
• 1 inch of ginger, minced

Directions:

1. First, take your mint and lay it out to mince.
   
2. Then place in a heavy pot with minced ginger
   
3. Then, add water and sugar and simmer. Remove from heat once sugar is completely dissolved.
4. Then, carefully pour mixture over a sieve into a bowl.
5. Press down on the mint leaves to removed all the simple syrup
   
6. Pour your syrup right into a bottle. I used a old happy bear honey jar.
7. 
   Now you’ll have all the yummy ginger-mint simple syrup you need! Toss it in your fruit salads, add it to a vinaigrette, sweeten your tea with it or use it to make delicious lemonade!
