      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.
