Make the mint infused sugar
syrup by dissolving a cup of water and a cup of sugar on the stovetop.
When it’s dissolved, add about 6 mint leaves and let the mint linger for half
an hour or so. Take out the leaves and put the syrup in the fridge until
you make the mojitos.
Mojito
Put 1-2 ounces of sugar syrup in
a glass. Add about 6-8 mint leaves and stir.
Fill the glass with crushed ice
(it has to be crushed otherwise the mint leaves get to the top and it’s gross).
Add 1-2 ounces of white rum
Add the juice of about half a
lime
Top up with soda water
Garnish with a slice of lime.
Tip – to make it seem extra fresh … before you add the slice
of lime run a mint leave around the rim of the glass so it smells minty!
