WHAT YOU NEED:

1 x tin of 100 Mysteries
2 x lemons
1 x bowl of blackberries
1 x nectarine
2 x stalks of mint
As much honey as you want!

WHAT TO DO:

Get ready to have fun! Put on a podcast (I recommend: The Minimalists, Why Do We Have Things?, or Serial)
Put on an apron (You never know! Blackberries stain!)
Get a cutting board and a sharp knife and wash the fruit.

THE RECIPE:

1. Make up some tea bags. I used five in a 32oz pitcher (this totally depends on how strong you want your brew to be) With five bags you get a full bodied tea.
2. Strip your peppermint stalks and massage the leaves so that the plant releases its flavour. Set aside for now.
3. Slice up your lemon. I did one and a half.
4. Slice up your nectarine. You want to pick a firm one so that it’s easy to cut. Tip: don’t try to make it too perfect at the expense of you fingers!
5. Layer the peppermint leaves, blackberries, tea bags, lemon, nectarine into your pitcher.
6. Pour over the hot water.
7. Cover and let sit for two hours.
8. Move to the fridge overnight.
9. Serve on ice add honey to sweeten.
10. Enjoy!
