Creating these lively beverages is as simple as a stroll through a Devon orchard. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 liter of chilled seltzer water
- 1 cup fresh fruit juice (such as apple, cranberry, or orange)
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh fruits (like lemons, limes, or berries)
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (because everything is better with a touch of cinnamon)
- Ice cubes
Feel free to swap the mint for basil or rosemary for a different twist, and if you fancy a bit more sweetness, a drizzle of honey will do the trick.
Instructions
Let’s bring a bit of magic to your kitchen with these simple steps:
- Start by placing your ice cubes in a large pitcher — I find the sound of ice clinking in a pitcher reminiscent of my childhood kitchen bustle.
- Pour in the fresh fruit juice, followed by the seltzer water, and give it a gentle stir. It’s the kind of process that’s as soothing as a Devon afternoon breeze.
- Add your sliced fruits and fresh mint leaves. As the colors meld together, it’s a sight that never fails to remind me of blooming wildflowers.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon — a little nod to my name and a family tradition — and stir once more, ensuring that each sip offers a hint of warmth.
- Taste and adjust. If it needs a bit more sweetness, add a drizzle of honey, stirring until it dissolves completely.
