    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2014   I just finished making this. Pureeing the mint leaves the syrup with tiny flecks of mint in it, which I like. I don't think you'd want to skip the straining if you did puree because the syrup with the mint puree looks really disgusting before you strain it. Even though I blanched my leaves, the syrup turned out a dark green - my mint was dark. I think it is tasty, just not very appealing to look at.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/03/2012   TraceyShaw, I believe the ice bath is to stop the cooking process after the mint has been blanched in boiling water, while pureeing the herb disperses the mint's flavor more quickly. I just tried this recipe and skipped the straining/ discarding solids step to drizzle on roasted peaches and whipped cream!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/16/2011   The mint syrup is very tasty. I am just curious as to the benefit of the ice-water bath and the puree step. This is the only mint syrup recipe I have seen that calls for both of those steps in the mint simple syrup process. Does anyone know?
