Ingredients

How to make it

  • Dissolve the sugar in the water.
  • When it comes to a boil add the wine vinegar.
  • Simmer 1/2 hour.
  • Add the handful of mint, slightly bruised.
  • Remove from fire.
  • Pour the syrup through a cheesecloth-lined sieve to remove the solid parts of the mint.
  • Let cool.
  • Dilute the resulting syrup to taste with ice water (5 to 10 parts water to 1 part syrup).
  • The syrup stores without refrigeration.
  • Note: even if you drink this potion warm, it will make you feel cooler in the hot sun, which will encourage you to drink even more water than usual. Which is a good thing.
