3 cups loosely packed mint leaves
2 cups bourbon
Ice cubes or crushed ice
Tools: strainer, pitcher
Glass: julep or Old Fashioned

Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the mint and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep at least 30 minutes.
