Corsican mint ice cubes

  • Makes: ± 24 ice cubes
  • Time: 10 min + 4 hrs freezing
  • From: Corsican mint

Ingredients

  • 24 sprigs of Corsican mint (2 to 3 leaves per sprig)
  • ± 500 ml cold water
  • 2 ice-cube trays

Method

  1. Rinse the sprigs quickly under cold water and pat them dry.
  2. Put one sprig in each compartment of the trays and fill them halfway with water. Freeze for 1 hour.
  3. Then top up the compartments and freeze for at least another 3 hours: that way the leaf stays nicely in the middle of the cube.
  4. Use one ice cube per glass, in water, lemonade or iced tea.

Storing: Turn the cubes out of the trays and keep them in a freezer bag: they keep for 3 months. One cube per glass is enough.
