Boil it further on medium heat till the syrup becomes a bit thick, about 20 minutes. Take off heat and cool the syrup.
Now add the mint leaves, grated ginger and juice of lemons. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours to let the mint flavor seep into the syrup.
Add green color if required.

To make the drink, pour about 1 tbsp. of the concentrate and add water to suit your taste.
Top it with crushed ice and serve the refreshing Minty-lemony drink.
