Here’s the process of how to prepare your Iced Sparkling Mint Americano:

Ingredients:

¼ Cup sugar.

1 Cup sparkling water.

2 Oz espresso.

Adding cream or your preferred milk for serving is optional.

Fresh Iced Sparkling Mint Americano leaves.

Directions: 

Step 1: In a small saucepan,  take ¼ cup of water and heat. After the water is heated add some sugar and let the water boil. Remove from heat and then you have to drop in the mint leaves.  Steep for 5 -10 minutes. Strain out the solids and let the mixture cool down.

Step 2: Measure 1-2 tablespoons (or more, depending on how sweet you want your drink) of syrup in the bottom of a tall glass. Add the sparkling water and ice, then pour the espresso over top. Be delighted as the espresso slowly dribbles down to the bottom of the cup, creating layers in your Mint Americano.

Step 3: Add cream or milk as desired with fresh mint sprigs. Now enjoy your Mint Americano coffee.

Tips:

Fresh mint leaves provide a more vibrant flavor than dried mint.

Lightly muddle the mint leaves in the glass before adding the ice and coffee to release more than one flavor.

Opt for cold brew coffee instead of hot brewed coffee for a smoother taste.
