My favorite beverage! And a great summer time treat!
If you don't like ginger, you can change things up by using basil, star anise, or lemon or orange peel.
Ingredients (for the simple syrup):
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/3 cup peeled sliced ginger
Directions:
Combine the above in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Steep at least 2 hours or overnight (preferred). Strain and cool to room temperature.
In a tall glass, muddle 3 mint leaves. Add 1 1/2 oz of the simple syrup and 6 oz Seltzer water, mix well.
Fill glasses with ice and garnish with a mint sprig.
