Here’s one for the designated drivers. A G&T… without the gin! It a sounds strange but it tastes just as good as the real thing.

Ingredients

  • 5 cardamom pods
  • ½ cucumber
  • 1 chamomile teabag
  • ½ bunch mint leaves, plus extra to garnish
  • 1 strip lemon zest
  • 5 cloves
  • ½ bunch rosemary
  • tonic water, to top up
  • ice
  • a few pomegranate seeds, to garnish (optional)

Method

  • Bruise the cardamom pods and slice the cucumber. Put them both in a large jug and add the chamomile teabag, mint leaves, lemon zest, cloves and rosemary.
  • Top up with 500ml cold water. Leave to infuse in the fridge for 2-4 hrs. To serve, strain the infused water and pour 50ml of it into each glass. Top up with tonic water and lots of ice. Garnish each one with a few more mint leaves and pomegranate seeds, if you like.
