In summer I enjoy preparing this drink, it is the most refreshing drink for a hot day.

Sparkling mineral water to taste

Combine the leaves and the remaining ingredients, except the mineral water.Pour into a tall glass, and top with sparkling mineral water.

Hmm - I like the sound of that drink for hot summer days. Murray has planted rosemary, coriander & parsley, but I said we didn't need mint as I rarely used it. I think now I might need it.
