A friend’s daughter spent her gap year working as a waitress in a London pub. Seeing fresh mint growing in abundance in my garden, she decided it was time to create one of her famous minty cocktails, which doubled up as a refreshing frozen dessert. After a scoop of this the day seems a whole lot less stressful.

Ingredients
60ml water
Juice of 1 lemon
200g sugar
2 large fresh pineapples
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint (35g)
125ml vodka (optional)

Method

Warm the water, lemon juice and sugar together, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
