Notes
A real mojito is made with sugar cane juice which is pressed from fresh sugar cane. Since that is very difficult to do at home the next best thing is to allow the mint to steep in the sugar syrup and rum in your refrigerator for a few hours. This allows the flavors to develop to get a true mojito.
