Day 13: Make a herb cocktail


Day 13 and the first day back at work after my hols. The weather matched my mood: it rained most of the day and was starting again as I arrived home. Alcohol was required.


As I turned the key in the front door, I glanced to the side at my rosemary bush. Yes, a herb cocktail!


Mix together in a jug some: rosemary and mint leaves, coconut rum (ours is Cocobay from Aldi), lime juice and 1 teaspoon sugar. Muddle (ie bash) the leaves with a pestle to release the flavour. Add a couple of ice cubes to chill. Pour.


Chickpea pronounced it 'a great success'. As I settled down, glass in hand, to watch Springwatch, I couldn't help but agree. How brilliant is 30 Days Wild! x
