Steps:
- For making this sweet sour drink, you need to pick a suitable pot, better to be a cupper pot. Pour the water and honey in the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat then and let it reach to its half size (half of the content needs to vaporize).
- Remember to stir the content repeatedly whilst heating and also remove the foam created on the surface time to time.
- You can add a bundle of fresh mint if you like and let its flavor dissolve in it gradually and let it boil for a while with the honey and water mixture. You can tie the bundle in order to prevent the dissolving of the mint particles in the liquid and for the easier remove of the bundle.
- Then add the vinegar to the content and let it boil unless the mixture meets its half size again.
- Let the syrup cools and pour it in a jar and refrigerate the drink.
