    Why is there a frame jump at 7m20s and the product looks different? The liquid looks more green colored after the jump than before, as if food coloring were added, or the mixture was blended much more than shown to reduce particle size.

      you don't need to actually. don't blanch mint just add citric acid to made syrup when cools down

      Yes it will give you a slightly different result tho. Still should make a good simple syrup.

    So you have made a simple syrup. But instead of just boiling a cup of sugar and and cup of water with however much mint you want. You have I think it's called blanching, then you have blended the mint. Never seen that method of making a simple syrup.

      He's doing it to slow down or nullify the breakdown of chlorophyll and the volatile flavor compounds in the mint. A lot gets lost when you boil the mint and then your syrup turns brown almost immediately.

      @@ChefChrisDay one could boil the sugar and water and add the mint later. That way it would last longer in the fridge and the sugar and water bond better.

    What was the point of blanching? Why not just put the fresh leaves? Did the sugar actually incorporate without heating up the water?

      blanching keeps it from turning brown after you make the syrup. Stays bright green for a week plus
