Ok, so summer is limping away licking its wounds and all of us Brazilians in the UK are asking “Was that it??”. But just in case you get one last chance for a BBQ this year (miracles do happen), here’s a great idea to add a nice twist to some Mate or Ice Tea – watermelon and mint ice cubes!

Just put some watermelon in the blender and blitz it for a few seconds (too much time and it will taste of pips) pass it through a sieve and pour into a regular ice tray. Add one small fresh mint leaf to each cube and freeze.

Thank you Gastronomers’ Guide for the wonderful idea.
