Instructions
- In a small pot, heat on medium low the sugar, water and mint leaves to make a syrup. Remove the mixture from the pot once the sugar has dissolved, and let cool to room temperature.

- Serve with fresh lemon slices and garnish with extra mint leaves. Add more sugar or lemon juice to taste.
