It's important to use alcohol-free creme de menthe syrup, not creme de menthe liquor.
Creme de menthe is fairly potent, so don't use too much, or the mint will overpower the other ingredients.
To get the right flavor, use lemonade concentrate, which is 6x more potent than lemon juice.
For a single serving mix ½ cup mint syrup per 1 cup of water. Experiment with different ratios to obtain your perfect balance of flavor.
Add 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a small pot. Stir over medium heat until dissolved and allow the mixture to boil. Once boiling remove from the heat and let it completely cool. Add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves (packed) and let it steep for 30 minutes.
Strain the mint leaves out of the syrup using a fine mesh strainer. Stir in 1 teaspoon mint extract until fully combined. Add more for a stronger mint flavor.
