MINT JULEP.

535. Take young mint, pick off the leaves, wash them, and to one tumbler of leaves add one tumbler of brandy and Jamaica spirits mixed. Pour the liquor on the mint to extract the flavor, then strain it off on a tumbler of sugar; when the sugar is dissolved, add a tumbler of ice finely pounded. Stir all well together.
