List of Ingredients

6 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups wine vinegar
4 sprigs mint
1 cucumber peeled and grated,
lime slices
mint sprigs


Recipe

Boil sugar and water, simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Add vinegar and boil 15-20 minutes longer, until syrup thickens, remove from heat.

Add washed (and DRIED) mint sprigs to syrup (some say to
simmer the mint as well--depends on how much you like mint, cooking it will give more minty flavor). Remove from heat; cool. Pour syrup into clean dry bottle. Cork tightly. Store in fridge.

To serve as drink: mix 1 part syrup, 3 parts water and a few icecubes (or crushed ice) per person. Add some fresh cucumber and stir well. Pour into glasses and decorate with lime slices and mint sprig. Serve cold!
