For the syrup (Sekanjebin):
• 3 cups sugar of choice
• 2 cup water
• 1 cup white wine vinegar
• 3/4 cup fresh mint (loosely packed)

To serve (per glass)
• 4-5 tablespoons sekanjebin syrup
• Cold water
• Ice
• 1/4 large cucumber, grated


Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
2. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it bubble gently for about 10 minutes.
3. Add the vinegar and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes. The syrup should become a little thicker but still pourable—it will thicken slightly more as it cools.
4. Add the fresh mint to the syrup, stir it in, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Strain out the mint immediately and let the syrup cool completely. Store in a clean glass bottle or jar in the fridge. It will keep for several weeks.
6. To serve, add 4-5 tbsp (more or less to taste), ice, the grated cucumber and cold water and mix.
7. Enjoy!
