To make mint simple syrup, add the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a slow boil, stirring until sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the roughly chopped fresh mint. Allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve, discarding the leaves. Cool before using. Syrup can be kept for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container.
