$\"ginger$ <\/p>\n

I love basics like this recipe. An infused simple syrup is a great building block that’s great to have in your refrigerator because even though it’s trivial to throw together, it makes it easy to add a gourmet touch. Suddenly, it’s no problem to make ginger mint lemonade or ginger mint iced tea. Or you can pour a little bit over a fruit salad to take dessert to the next level. And, of course, it’s the perfect addition to mixed drinks, a great foil for whiskey, gin, rum, tequila, or whatever your favorite spirit might be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
\n
In a small pot, combine 1 cup water<\/em> and 1 cup granulated sugar<\/em>, then add 1-inch piece ginger, thinly sliced<\/em> and 1\/2 cup fresh mint leaves<\/em>, crushing the leaves to release the oils as you add them to the pot.<\/li>\n
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Lower heat, and let simmer for 2 – 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n
Strain to remove the ginger slices and mint leaves, and refrigerate the simple syrup until ready to use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
