A Refreshing Welcome Drink

1. 1

   Pick the mint leaves and wash in running water.

2. 2

   Heat water in a vessel and add sugar to it. Let the sugar dissolve; filter the sugar syrup with a thin muslin cloth. Boil it further on medium heat till the syrup becomes a bit thick, about 20 minutes. Take off heat and cool the syrup.

3. 3

   Add the mint leaves, grated ginger and juice of lemons. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours to let the mint flavor seep into the syrup.

4. 4

   Discard the leaves and other ingredients. Add green color if required. Store the concentrate in a clean glass bottle.

5. 5

   To make the drink, pour about 1 tablespoon of the concentrate and add water to suit your taste. Top it with crushed ice and serve the refreshing minty-lemony drink.
