- fresh mint leaves

| How to Prepare: |
| Dissolve 4 cups of sugar into 2.5 cups water, heating constantly. When this comes to a boil, add 1 cup red wine vinegar, and simmer for a half an hour. Add mint, remove from heat, and allow to steep until cool. Strain out the mint leaves from the syrup, bottle syrup. Serve diluted to taste with ice water (5 to 10 parts water to 1 part syrup). This medieval recipe provides both sugar and electrolytes expended by the body during hiking or other outdoor sports, with less questionable ingredients than modern sports drinks. Syrup lasts for months. Can also be flavored with ginger, or cinnamon & clove, or citrus peels instead of mint. |
