For a more intense mint flavor, gently bruise the mint leaves before adding them to the syrup. Adjust the amount of vinegar to suit your personal preference. Some prefer a tangier syrup, while others enjoy a sweeter profile. Sekanjabin can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. Serve by mixing 4-5 tablespoons of the syrup with ice water. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of cucumber for an extra touch of refreshment.
