It is simply refreshing mixed with Sprite, Lemonade, Limeade, or Gingerale. Find a patch of mint and whip some up for yourself. Trust me, you will love it!
Mint Julep
4 Cups water
4 Cups sugar
5 1/3 Cups lemon juice
1 Quart tightly packed spearmint leaves
Green food coloring
Boil water and sugar until the sugar melts. Stir in lemon juice then stir in mint leaves. Let sit overnight in fridge. Strain leaves from syrup and add a few drops of green food coloring. Store in fridge or freezer.
Mix with ice and Gingerale, Sprite, lemonade, or limeade. This makes a lot so you can make half or a third of a batch, or share with friends.

I have peppermint leaves. Do you think they would work? If not, maybe we will have to grow spearmint next year for sure!

Mint Julep is my favorite!! So refreshing!
I love mint. Wish I would have planted some this year, maybe next year if I can get it together. I am not so much a green thumb. I am like a baby with my garden and am constantly calling my mom for help.
