Mint or spearmint doesnt have that “minty” artificial flavor. It comes from peppermint or menthol, but peppermint doesnt have the mint fragrance. That’s why it always good to mix those two.

My brother used to make mint syrup with 2 types of mint regular way

Its so satisfying to me seeing the progress of this and waiting on him to give us updates on each sryup he makes its so cool

For everyone who wants to try this themselves, most types of mint are very easy to grow yourself so you don't have to buy a big pile of leaves.

Wow the algorithm really helped on this one lol, I saw the original video awhile back and looked for part 2, couldn’t find it but here we are

My mom made this a few months ago, and made one with fresh spruce tips that turned out amazing! Never tasted anything so unique

I love that YouTube is amazing at making you see part 2 of a video you saw a few days or a week ago

If you haven’t already, I think that a jalapeño syrup would be delicious! I’ve had a jalapeño jam before and the mix between spicy and sweet was perfect!

I am also doing this mint syrup. Just 2 days behind. Will do the same after 2 days. Was looking forward for this update!!

I just rewatched your strawberry video since they’re back in season and was like I wonder if I can do this with mint? Your video was top of the search result! I grow 7 types of mint, I’m curious if they’ll produce vastly different tastes or not, I’m excited it give them a try when they’re fuller later in the summer! The peppermint I have it ready to be harvested so I’m going to give it a go, and strawberries, while I wait😊

There's a much quicker way to do this. Put the mint, sugar, and water into a pot and then boil it until most of the water has been evaporated

[stephanievineyard]

You inspired me to try this with fresh huckleberries! I just put mine in the fridge, I can't wait to see it in a week!

[justjoe]

Where do you get a your jars for this and your cherry blossom or peach syrup jars? Super cool stuff though keep it up!

[ilstthegam]

Damn I'll try this with my strawberrymint and lemonmint, it'll either be horrable or amazing!

[melancholyman]

I might start doing this, it looks interesting.

Getting a true mint extract is like the impossible dream. A friend of mine tried this with liquor last year and it was gross

This is called Sekanjabin. It can be served hot or cold. Boil the water, pour the sugar in the water, stir to dissolve. Take it off the heat, for 2 cups of water add 1/4 cup of wine vinegar which acts as a preservative but you won't taste it. The syrup made this way doesn't need refrigeration.
Put the leaves in, fresh or dry. Let it steep in the sugar water til it's cool. Strain the syrup into a bottle through some muslin to catch the leaves.
If you want to keep it in a bottle in the cabinet, while its still hot, add wine vinegar. If it's 2 cups of water then use 1/4 cup of wine vinegar. Steep and strain.
Now you can use this as the base of a nice refreshing iced cold drink. So fill glass with ice, add water and mint syrup to taste. you can add frozen fruit juice concentrate to the mint syrup if you wish. Orange or lemon is very nice.

My mum used to hollow out white raddish and fill it up with brown candice sugarrocks to make coth sirup for me and my siblings.
Kind of similar I realy want to try this method.

If it’s floral and fruity, it could’ve been lemon balm or holy basil, regular mint has some musk and bitterness … spearmint and peppermint have very distinct flavors.

FYI muddling the herb in the jar before adding the sugar on top will allow the oils to be absorbed by the sugar faster, making for stronger flavor.

The trick for a mint syrup is to blanch the mint, blend it with a simple syrup and then straining out the solids with a fine mesh strainer. The blanching prevents the mint from turning brown during and after blending.
