A welcome drink which is made with all natural ingredients. Healthy and refreshing.
Pick the mint leaves and wash in running water.
Heat water in a vessel and add sugar to it. Let the sugar dissolve; filter the sugar syrup with a thin muslin cloth. Boil it further on medium heat till the syrup becomes a bit thick, about 20 minutes. Take off heat and cool the syrup.
Add the mint leaves, grated ginger and juice of lemons. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours to let the mint flavor seep into the syrup.
Discard the leaves and other ingredients. Add green color if required. Store the concentrate in a clean glass bottle.
To make the drink, pour about 1 tablespoon of the concentrate and add water to suit your taste. Top it with crushed ice and serve the refreshing minty-lemony drink.

I tried this one today, and I am sorry to say, that we just did not like it.
after the 5 hour wait it had very little flavor at all, so I let it sit a few more hours. Then it was just mostly a sugar with mint drink. Not too exciting.
I think it might be improved by adding a large quantity of lemon or lime juice which would make it like a mint julep.
