This has become a family favorite! I have lots of mint in my herb garden, so this is the perfect way to use it. I'm not sure why this recipe would have you make so much simple syrup if you were only supposed to use 1 cup….but If you use all the simple syrup you make, it's really sweet? I just use all the syrup, but then add more water or ice until it's how we like it.

Refreshing, tangy, not too sweet with a pleasant hint of mint. Perfect drink for summer.
