2 heaping TB dried Spearmint Leaves

* if you would prefer it a little less sweet feel free to start with less sugar and add to taste
1 - STERILIZED 1 liter soda bottle
In a large pot pour the filtered water, add all the herb ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 6 hours, stirring a few times every now and the.
When it has been well steeped, strain out all solids
Bring to a low boil, add sugar and stir until well dissolved.
