Instructions

  1. Wash mint leaves, pat dry, and put them in a small mixing bowl. Cover with 3 ounces Bulleit Bourbon and let soak for 15 minutes.

  2. Remove mint, then place them in a clean cotton cloth, and wring over bowl, bruising the leaves. Dip back into bourbon and wring again.

  3. Repeat several times to create mint extract. Set extract aside for 1 hour. You can also put the leaves back in the extract for a more concentrated mint flavor.

  4. Combine mint extract (leaves included, if preferred) with simple syrup (1 cup sugar and 1 cup water) in a covered glass container or jar and refrigerate overnight.

  5. Fill julep cups (10-12 ounces, preferably silver but glass will do) with crushed ice or shaved ice and insert a fresh mint sprig.

  6. Add 1 1/2 ounces Bulleit Bourbon to each cup.

  7. Add marinated julep mixture to taste.

Why this Bulleit Mint Julep works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Bulleit Mint Julep that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
