Notes
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 ounce of mint simple syrup. Actual calories will vary.
*For more information, tips, and answers to frequently asked questions, please refer to the post.
*Mint simple syrup stays good in the refrigerator for about a week.
*I used cane sugar in the photos, so my syrup has a deeper, more brownish color. Granulated sugar is my go-to, but my local supermarket was out of stock. Cane sugar will work in a pinch.
