20 horses running at Churchill Downs today. And a filled to capacity crowd of spectators. I’m not a racing fan. But I have a patch of wild mint in the backyard, and I’d like to make a nice mint julep. The recipes I’ve found say it’s best to make a syrup by boiling mint leaves in a concentrated sugar solution. Seems like too much work. How about just crushing up a pile of mint in sugar and adding bourbon and ice?
