Default Simple Syrup

Can Simple Syrup be stored for a long period of time? I made some for a mint dressing and I have a lot leftover. Can it be saved?

Yes,
Seal in an airtight container and refrigerate till the end of time.

Of course if you added fresh mint leaves to it, I'm not too sure it would last more than 6 weeks
