Non-Alcoholic Mint Julep: Kentucky Derby

4 Mint sprigs -- up to 5 sprigs
1 1/2 cups Sugar
2 cups Cold water
3/4 cup Lemon juice
1 1/2 quarts Ginger ale
Lemon slices -- thin (garnish ; optional )

"A mock mint julep drink."

Rinse the mint and discard stems. Place the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl, mix, and stir in the mint leaves. Allow to stand for 30 minutes.
Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes and strain the liquid over the ice. Add the ginger ale and lemon slices, and serve.
