Non-alcoholic mint and lime cocktail

Here’s a nice non-alcoholic beverage I came up with the other day. I made it out of what I had to hand, and it turned out very well. I don’t know whether it’s really original or not, but it has a refreshing, delicate flavour.

  • Juice of one lime
  • Three teaspoons of sugar
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves

Put the ingredients in a blender—you can add ice at this stage if your blender is sufficiently robust—and fill to the litre mark with water. Blend until the mint is completely pulverised and serve with ice.

    I have a small mint plant in a pot, but absolutely tonnes of lemon balm growing in both my front and back gardens, so if we get a sunny enough day soon I’ll let you know if lemon balm works as well.

    Menno, you could try some iced matcha (??) with sugar and/or milk.
