Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to its visually appealing and satisfying process of creating a homemade syrup and drink, tapping into the popular trend of aesthetically pleasing food and beverage preparation content.

Summary

The video shows the process of making mint syrup by layering mint, sugar, and water in a jar, refrigerating it for 48 hours, and then straining it. It then demonstrates making a drink by adding ice, lime, mint, and the prepared syrup to a glass, and pouring in a dark liquid, possibly tea or coffee, before serving it to two people who appear to enjoy it.

Original caption

A few days ago, we saw @Candice🌞 make a fresh mint syrup and honestly, it had our jaws on the floor. We make and keep fresh mint tea in our refrigerator year-round, so we had to try it and see if it would take our homemade tea to the next level… And it is LIFE-CHANGING. It felt like forever waiting for the syrup to fully liquefy in the refrigerator, but it is absolutely worth the wait. The flavor is incredible and completely transforms our homemade mint tea. You have to try this. It’s going to blow your mind. Life-Changing Fresh Mint Syrup Granulated white sugar Good size container of mint Remove the stems from the mint leaves . Chop them up. In a jar, layer equal parts of chopped mint leaves & sugar. Add the juice of 3-5 lemons. Press gently. Close the lid and refrigerate for 48 to 72 hours. Mix it once a day. Feel free to add extra lemon or water to help the liquefying along. Strain and store in the fridge! Fresh Mint Tea In about 6-8 of waters, depending on how much you want to make. Bring to a boil, off the heat, and add in one to two boxes of your favorite tea, we used Lady Grey. Let that steep completely, add in as much mint as you’re willing to purchase, we used 4 to 5 cups of mint leaves. Press them in and let them sleep as well. Strain everything and refrigerate.. Once the syrup is ready, pour pour yourself a glass of mint tea and add syrup and you will see this really is life-changing mint tea!! #mint #minttea #freshmint #tea #homemade
