This simple concoction makes a perfect summer drink, luxuriously cooling and colourful. It’s great for a picnic or as a welcome drink at home. I’ve added honey for a touch of sweetness, but you can add any sweetener including coconut sugar, just adjust the amount depending on your preference.

Ingredients

  • 300 ml (10 fl oz/ cups) water
  • juice of 1

Method

Place the measured water, lime juice, honey and saffron in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the saffron yellow has infused the water, then remove from the heat and leave until cool.

Place the ice cubes in 2 glasses, pour in the limeade, and decorate with a couple of mint leaves.
