Title: MINT JULEP ICE CREAM
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 1 batch

1 c Sugar
1 c Water
1 c Fresh mint leaves
-- tightly packed
2 10 oz. cans condensed milk
1 qt Heavy cream
2 c Milk
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 pn Salt
1/2 c Southern Comfort or bourbon*
Green food coloring (opt'l.)
Mint leaves; for garnish

*Do not increase the amount of liquor in this recipe,
since it will prevent the ice cream from hardening
properly. In a saucepan, bring the sugar, water and
mint to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 8
minutes to make a simple syrup. Cool and strain,
discarding mint. In a large bowl, combine the
condensed milk, cream, milk, vanilla, salt and liquor.
Stir in the mint syrup. Tint with a few drops of food
coloring, if desired. Pour into an ice cream maker
and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions
until firm. Garnish with additional mint sprigs.
Yield: Approximately 2 quarts.
