Mojito Mixer

1. 1

   Mix the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium high and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Cut the limes in half and give the mint leaves a crush in your hands and add to the sugar and water mixture.

3. 3

   Turn heat down to medium and let simmer for five minutes to steep the flavor out of the mint and limes.

4. 4

   Pour syrup through a strainer and chill.

5. 5

   Keep the syrup refrigerated.

6. 6

   To use this syrup to make a Mojito, pour about 1 tablespoon (give or take) over ice, add your rum and club soda, mix well and serve in a chilled glass.

7. 7

   Now I'm not giving anything exact here because I have always eyeballed it when I make mojitos. Just don't use too much syrup, you should be able to figure out a good ratio to fit your taste after a few tries.
