Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, cut into quarters
  • 150ml elderflower cordial (see tip)
  • 100ml gin
  • 500g ice cubes

Method

  1. Freeze the cucumber pieces for about 4 hours until solid. Put in a powerful food processor or blender with the rest of the ingredients and whizz until you have a crushed granita-style ice. Serve immediately in bowls straight from the freezer.

  1. If you have a juicy lemon in the kitchen, feel free to squeeze in the juice, or throw a shredded bunch of fresh mint into the mix – experiment with other flavours.

  1. I love this recipe because it’s fun hunting through hedgerows for the elderflowers, and the end results are delicious. Plus it’s so easy.
