Ingredients you'll need

I recommend using the best quality ingredients, shopping seasonally and sustainably sourced when possible, and even growing your own product if you can. This recipe goes exceptionally well with homegrown mint leaves.

• Brown sugar -

• Green tea - Either a store bought Caribbean style simple syrup or you can make your own using this recipe.

• Water - If drinking tap water is safe for you then tap water will work fine in this recipe.

• Mint leaves - Either store bought or homegrown mint leaves will work in this recipe.

• Ice (optional) - If you want an ice cold mocktail, with layers of mint, you can skip the ice.

How do I store this mint, apple and ginger beer mocktail?

You can't store this mocktail for extended periods due to the ice melting and the frizz subsiding. It's best to make the mocktail as and when you want to enjoy it. I've even advise making smaller mocktail's over a large shareable jug.

Can I freeze this mint, apple and ginger beer mocktail ?

You can't freeze this cocktail, as it will lose its frizzle from the ginger beer. Also, you can't turn this into a popsicle even though it uses edible mint leaves. It just wouldn't be a pleasant eating experience.
