Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.

Steps

  1. Put the water, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the liquid runs clear and no grit remains on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Do not let it boil down.
  2. Pull the pan off the burner. Drop in the mint and lemon peel, press them under the surface with a spoon, and leave them to steep for 15 minutes.
  3. Strain through a fine sieve into a measuring jug, pressing gently on the solids. Discard the mint and peel.
  4. Let the syrup sit until it is completely at room temperature — cool to the touch, not warm. This matters: tincture never goes into a hot or simmering pan.
  5. Top up with cool water to exactly 240 ml (1 cup). If you have more than 240 ml, pour the extra into a separate jar and leave it plain — only the measured cup gets dosed.
  6. Add the 5 ml of tincture to the cooled 240 ml of syrup. Whisk for a full 30 seconds, then pour into a jar, seal and shake 10 seconds more so the dose is spread evenly through every ounce.
  7. To serve: pour exactly 1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) with a jigger into a single glass — sparkling water and lime, iced tea, lemonade. One tablespoon is one 5 mg serving. Never pour the syrup into a shared pitcher; the pitcher stays plain and each glass is dosed on its own.
  8. Keep refrigerated and use within a month. Label the jar: Mint & Lemon Peel Sipping Syrup · 50 mg THC total · 5 mg per tablespoon · 10 tablespoons · made [date] · 21+ only.
