Scale
The ingredients for these drinks are as simple and wholesome as the countryside where I grew up. Here’s what you’ll need to create your own refreshing concoction:
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)
- Ice cubes
- Slices of lime and strawberries for garnish
If you fancy a touch of sweetness, a spoonful of honey does wonders, reminiscent of the wildflower honey my mum would drizzle over her warm scones.
Instructions
Making these drinks is as simple as pie—something I often baked with my mum on lazy Sundays. Follow these steps to create your refreshing beverage:
- In a large pitcher, muddle the mint leaves and lime juice together until the mint is fragrant.
- Add the sparkling water to the pitcher, followed by the sliced strawberries and honey. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the drink over the ice.
- Garnish with additional slices of lime and strawberries, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors that take you back to simpler times.
