Mint syrup – Grandma Marysia’s homemade recipe | November 24, 2025

Ingredients:
2 large bunches of fresh mint (about 100 g of leaves)
1 liter of water
1 kg of sugar
1 lemon (or juice of 1 lemon)
optional: 1 tablespoon of citric acid (for better shelf life)
Preparation:
Rinse the mint thoroughly under cold water.

Remove the leaves from the stems (the stems can also be added, but they will give less flavor).

Boil water with sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
