A few months ago Adam and I got our very own
Cuisinart 2-Quart Ice Cream Maker. Ever since then we have been exploring a new world of delicious homemade ice cream. Although we haven't invented our own recipe we have tweaked a few to match our own personal tastes and I must say, it has been a sweet experience! This particular recipe was inspired by Adam's interest in his hometown state of Kentucky...and what better ice cream to fit in with Kentucky than Mint Julep Ice Cream! Enjoy!
Mint Julep Ice Cream

4 cups half/half

In a medium bowl, mix sugar and half/half until sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, add bourbon and mint extract. Place in 2-quart ice cream maker. Churn for 25-30 minutes until ice cream consistency is to your liking. Store in freezer in air-tight container.
