Cover with cling film

Store in the freezer.

In a saucepan, pour the water with the sugar, the peeled and chopped ginger, with the mint leaves.

Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes

Turn off the heat and let it cool quickly, perhaps placing the saucepan in a bowl full of ice.

Pass it through a sieve

Pour it into the ice cream maker

Turn on the ice cream maker: it will take at least 40 minutes.
