Julep Time!

[teaberryblue]

So keeping with the recent fresh flower blossom theme, i decided to add sage blossoms to my juleps this year:

Most people don’t eat sage flowers, even if they eat sage all the time. They’re very sagey, and a little minty, and a tiny bit sweet, and a really good addition to a salad, if you already grow sage and don’t do anything with the flowers. So I thought they’d be good in a julep.

Ingredients
3 oz bourbon
1 oz brown sugar simple syrup
1/2 cup of mint sprigs plus two for garnish
about 15 sage blossoms

Instructions
Chill a julep cup or rocks glass
Add ice to a pitcher
Add all ingredients except mint for garnish
Muddle well, let sit about five minutes, stir and pour
Add mint for garnish

And here is me in my derby hat! I am rooting for Pants on Fire and Rosie Napravnik!

I'm growing some sage at the moment, I think if I manage to get it to the flower stage, I'll try those too. :D

That sounds like a brilliant addition to a julep!

I'll bet this was delicious, but I hope I never see a julep again for a while. I made 48 of the juleps on my menu last night. They just kept comin' man!
