Iced tea with a twist

This is another stupidly simple treat to make with things that are in your cupboard for that moment when a friend calls to share your pool / afternoon or indeed, for a picnic.

I used M&S Mint and Strawberry Infusion as the flavour is not timid as can be with other brands, and some very ripe strawberries and mint from my courtyard pots. And a splash of vodka.

Make up the tea – use boiling water if you have the time and allow the bags to infuse for a few minutes. Mash up the strawberries and vodka if using, add to the tea once cooled. I then pour onto a baking sheet and pop in the freezer. It needs about 30 minutes to make a granita consistency. Serve and add torn mint leaves to be a #colincowie style host/ess!
