Recipe information

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups packed fresh mint leaves

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

Chop mint. In a saucepan bring sugar, water and mint to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer syrup, undisturbed, 2 minutes. Pour syrup through a fine sieve, pressing hard on solids, and cool. Syrup keeps, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.

Like basil chicken stir-fry and “company-worthy” cod.

Or sauce. Or dip. Or sandwich spread.

Custom cocktail pouches, house beats, and global matchups were the backdrop of a vibrant, cocktail-fueled fête for soccer fans.

Like “spectacular” breakfast shrimp and a lentil scallion salad.

Muddled melon lends a hot pink hue. Call it the drink of the summer if you must!

Turn a pound of ground beef into this hearty, umami stir-fry.

Use summer’s ripest offerings to make this Mexican party bev.

It comes together in a blender and just happens to be dairy-free.
