Ingredients
- 1 lime
- 1.70 oz caster or super fine sugar
- 1 small bunch fresh mint
- 1.25 cups water, divided
- Ice
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the green zest from the lime and place it in a small saucepan. Add the sugar, most of the mint, and 1/2 cup of water to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about five minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Squeeze the lime to get about 1/2 cup of lime juice. Pour the lime juice into a drink pitcher and strain out any bits using a fine mesh sieve. Add the lime and mint syrup to the pitcher and then pour in about 2 cups of water. Adjust the amount of water to your liking and add some sliced limes or sprigs of mint to the pitcher.
- Serve the Minty Lime Zing over plenty of ice.
