Mint Syrup

Mint syrup is a sweet, vibrantly green, and intensely aromatic syrup made by infusing simple syrup with fresh mint leaves. Its flavor is characterized by a refreshing coolness, with a sweet, herbaceous, and slightly pungent mint taste. The texture is smooth and syrupy, making it easy to blend into drinks and desserts. Home cooks and professional bartenders alike use mint syrup as a versatile ingredient to add a burst of fresh mint flavor.

Common Uses

  • Drizzle mint syrup over fruit salads for added sweetness and a cooling minty kick, especially delicious with melon, berries, and tropical fruits.
  • Add a splash of mint syrup to iced tea to give it an herbal twist. This will enhance the tea's flavor profile and elevate it to a refreshing level.
  • Incorporate mint syrup into desserts such as ice cream, panna cotta, or mousse. The syrup adds a delightful sweetness and aromatic minty flavor to the creamy base.
