Canning your own mint syrup makes use of extra garden mint, or fresh mint from the store, and provides a year-round supply of mint-flavored simple syrup. The process is similar to making mint jelly, only without the need to add pectin or other thickener. Mint syrup gives you a handy ingredient for treats such as the mojito, a popular mint cocktail, mint hot chocolate, mint brownies or homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream.
