Mint Julep Sticks

Here is a fun and easy recipe for cool fresh flavor treats for kids and adults:

Mint Julep Sticks

In a sauce pan combine 1 1/3 cups sugar with 2 1/2 cups cold water.  Heat stirring constantly, until the sugar melts.  Bring to a boil for 1-2 minutes, remove from the heat and stir in 4 Tbsp. finely chopped mint leaves.  Set aside to cool.  Strain and pour mixture into ice-pop molds (you can use silicone mini-muffin pan or small paper cups).  Insert an ice-pop stick into each and freeze for 3-4 hours or until solid.

For grown up treat add 1 Tbsp bourbon to the mixture before pouring into the ice-pop molds. Cheers!
