My mom made this but we mixed 1/3 c. of the syrup with Squirt to taste. Also she didn't grate the peel she just put the whole juiced rinds of oranges and lemons in to sit with the other ingredients for at least an hour. Our whole neighborhood couldn't wait for spring, all the kids would show up to pick Mom's fresh mint for her and wait for the finished product! I have my own mint patch now and my 4 adult kids are always stealing some for their own Mint Drink.
