Pick fresh mint, rinse briefly, and place in a teacup. Pour the elderflower syrup over the mint, covering the bottom of the cup by about 1/2 cm. Then add up to 1 teaspoon of lemon syrup and the sugar. Stir briefly, then pour over boiling water. Let the tea steep for about 10 minutes, then remove the leaves.
