Mint flavour is generally liked by all with very few exceptions. It is a refresher by itself and enhances the flavor when added to any thing else. Fresh mint leaves are used in flavouring biryanis, cold soups n fruit punches, chutneys but here i am talking of a mint concentrate which i learnt from my friends. It is very refreshing n stays in the fridge for a while to keep u refreshed on a tiring day or a lively evening with friends.
Ingredients:
11/4 kg sugar, equal amount of water, 1 kg fresh lime juice, 100 g fresh mint leaves, pinch of green color.
Preparation:
- Put sugar and water to boil.
- After about ten minutes when it reduces in quantity, add the lime juice and bring it to boil.
