Make the Mint Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves. Let steep for 10 minutes, then strain the syrup to remove the mint leaves. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is fully dissolved. Stir in the mint syrup you prepared earlier and mix well.

Chill and Churn

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Freeze and Enjoy

Transfer the churned gelato into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve in bowls or cones, and savor the minty goodness that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied!
