Kentucky Mint Julep

There are many, many recipes for mint juleps. This is one I have served in several restaurants around the state. It is traditionaly enjoyed when served in a silver julep cup. It's also very good in a glass!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 cups water, heated
• 2 cups sugar
• cracked ice
• bourbon

Preparation:

First, make syrup:
Heat water. Whisk in sugar and heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add mint and let the mixture steep for 20 to 30 minutes.

For each Mint Julep:
Add cracked or crushed ice to Julep tumbler or glass. Add 1 1/2 ounces of Kentucky Bourbon. Add 2 1/2 teaspoons syrup, or to taste. Stir lightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaf and serve with a straw.
