Spiced Mojito Ice Tea

Ola! Como Estas? We are doing absolutely phenomenal. We are on our second day of a September Heatwave here in the UK and HALLELUJAH!

IT'S LIKE BEING BACK IN GREECE! Bringing back that truly out of this world time I had with the hubby. Have you ever had that feeling; where you have no idea what to expect and it turns out to be one of those ridiculously boombastic, eye-opening, perspective bringing holiday? Yup, that was exactly what it was for me. Returned home happy, grateful and appreciative for every single person and moment in my life. There isn't a substitute for those simple pleasures.

We indulged in all kinds of ways. Food, drink, memories and laughter! So once back I really really fancied a drink of any kind on a super hot summer's day but it was 1pm and being on an alcohol ban I had no other choice but to conjure something non-alcoholic and thirst quenching..... THIS beautiful monstrosity was what I came up with.

What is required:

Some sort of a vessel you can grind or smash up the ingredients. Just to marry the flavours together.

Your favourite mug/ glass/ jar

1/2 lime juice

1 tea spoon coconut sugar/ 1 Medjool date (which is what I used)

Mint sprig

Thyme Sprig

4-5 Thinly sliced Cucumber

4-5 Slices of Ginger

Dump all the ingredients together and mash it up!!! Filter out the liquid into the mug/ jar you will be using, pour in some Water or Coconut water to make it indulgen, take a fresh sprig of mint and stir 🌱🌱. Et Voila, the coolest drink ever.
