For a more intense mint flavor, steep the mint and lemon balm in the hot sugar syrup for 30 minutes before straining. If you don't have Muscat wine, you can substitute with another sweet white wine or a splash of simple syrup. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference, depending on the tartness of the lemons. Make sure your ice cream maker is fully chilled before adding the mixture for optimal results.
