Stir together 2 cups of water with 2 cups of sugar inside a pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lime zest with 1/2 cup mint leaves. Cool to room temperature, strain, and refrigerate.
Cocktail:
Place the lime wedges into the bottom of a large pitcher with the remaining mint leaves. Gently muddle, or press, with the bottom of a wooden spoon to release some of the lime juice and mint flavor.
Add 1 cup of the mint syrup, the rum, and lime juice. Stir well.
