tigg Not having any mint I tried it with basil today. Not a good idea. Someone reviewed that when they had boiled the mint in the syrup solution it had made the mint bitter, and suggested making the syrup then letting the mint infuse for 48 hours. Which way did you do it? [apologies for not translating the recipe in the link!]

vera :-) ok! In my garden I have Moroccan mint. I also added lemon zest. First boil 2l water. Put into the water 2dl leaves of mint and 2 kg sugar. Infused 48hours with mint and lemon zest. Filtered. I noticed that my syrup was too liquid... So I cooked it six minutes more and put it in the bottles . The result is great! Delicious, served chilled with fresh leaves! I don't feel much lemon ... So I don't know if it's really useful ;-)
