For a stronger mint flavor, use more mint leaves or steep the syrup for a longer period. Experiment with different types of mint, such as spearmint or peppermint, to create unique flavor profiles. This syrup can also be used to sweeten iced tea, lemonade, or other beverages. To sterilize the glass jar, wash it with hot, soapy water and then place it in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for 10 minutes.
