Description

Sweet, minty and boozy. Like a Mint Julep, only better!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • FOR THE SORBET:
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 whole Family-size Tea Bag
  • 1 cup Simple Syrup
  • ½ cups Bourbon
  • ¼ cups Water
  • ¼ cups Mint Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Preparation

To make simple syrup: Stir equal parts sugar and water together in a medium saucepan — I used 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar. Bring mixture to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.

To make the sorbet: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a teapot or saucepan. Remove from heat and add the tea bag (you can use two regular teabags if you can’t find a family size). Cover the pot and allow it to steep for 10 minutes. Discard teabag and chill tea until cool.

Once tea and simple syrup are cool, stir together the tea, 1 cup of simple syrup, the bourbon and the 1/4 cup of water.

Rinse mint leaves, then cut them into small pieces.

Stir the chopped mint leaves into the mixture and add the lemon juice. If you taste the mixture at this point, it should be a little bit sweeter than you want the sorbet to be.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process until frozen. Store sorbet in the freezer.

(Makes a little less than a quart)
