Start by making the simple syrup. Add the water, sugar, mint, and lemon zest to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved, 2-3 minutes. Continue to simmer over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly then strain into a jar, pushing down on the mint and lemon zest to release as much of the simple syrup as possible.
