    Title: Mint Julep Ice Cream
    Categories: Desserts, Icecream
    Yield: 2 Quarts

    1 c Sugar
    1 c Water
    1 c Fresh mint leaves;
    - tightly packed
    20 oz Condensed milk (2 cans)
    1 qt Heavy cream
    2 c Milk
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 pn Salt
    1/2 c Southern Comfort or
    - bourbon *
    Green food coloring
    - (optional)
    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.
