Place fresh mint leaves into the bottom of a julep cup or sturdy glass and add a small amount of the cooled simple syrup.




Gently muddle the mint leaves with the syrup to release the essential oils without shredding the leaves.


Fill the glass to the brim with crushed ice and pour the remaining syrup over the top, stirring gently until the cup frosts on the outside.
