Wash the lemon, chop finely without removing the peel. Shredded mint and add lemon to boiling water. Cook for 10 minutes and set aside for a day.
The next day, strain the broth and add sugar. Cook until done, 35-40 minutes. Pour hot into jars and roll up.
Sometimes I make a slightly amended recipe, although I will need a second lemon. The principle is the same, the only thing is that on the second day of cooking, finely chopped (preferably grated) zest of a second lemon is added to the broth.
