Instructions

  1. Add cane sugar and water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. 
  2. Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes.
  3. Take it off the heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Start with ¼ tsp, taste it, and add more to taste. Every brand of peppermint extract might have a different strength.
  4. Pour the syrup into a glass jar and store it in the fridge for 2 weeks. Wait for it to cool down before closing it with a lid.

Notes

  • Refrigerator: Store the syrup in a glass jar or an airtight jar in the fridge for 2 weeks.
  • Freezer: Freeze the syrup in a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer for 3-4 months or longer when stored properly. I don't recommend freezing it in an ice cube tray because it never freezes solid. It should be scoopable straight from the freezer, but you can defrost it in the fridge for an hour to make it liquid again.
  • The syrup makes about 1 1/3 cups, which is about 10 servings when you use 2 tbsp per serving.
