I made a drinks recipe yay! I haven’t made one yet on Add A Little and thought you would enjoy this refreshing, minty, slightly fruity drink that’s perfect for summer! And I know it’s nearly the end of summer (nooo) but lets just pretend it’s still hot and sunny and we can have picnics.
I also decided to give an outdoor shoot a little go, which was super fun! What do you think of the shots? I’m really happy with the way they turned out so I’ll definitely try different sceneries more often! (Just ignore the fact that it was fuh-reezing outside and my fingers nearly fell off!)
More drink recipes to come!
Summer Fruit Mint Tea vegan, gluten free, dairy free
A delicious summer drink that is refreshing on a hot, summers day.
Feel free to add any fruits of your choice and this is delicious served warm if you add a slice of orange and some fresh mint leaves too.
2 teabags of good quality mint tea
500ml cool water (you can use boiling water if you want to speed up the process but I think long steeping gives it a more crisp, minty flavour)
Fruits of your choice: raspberries, frozen grapes, plums, nectarines
optional: sweetner such as agave or stevia
Steep the teabags in the cool water for about half and hour.
Chill in the fridge and serve cold with fruits.
Use frozen grapes instead of ice cubes so the flavour doesn’t go!

Some summer weather would be perfect on a day like today too! 😀
Haha thank you Lorraine!
So so glad I stumbled upon your blog! It’s always so refreshing to find younger bloggers. (Does me turning 20 make me not young anymore?)
The tea looks crazy refreshing! Could definitely use a big ole glass right now in this heat. Love the idea of adding in frozen grapes!
Thank you for the lovely words Graham! Don’t worry, 20 is still young in my mind haha!
Great photos! I find liquids especially challenging to photograph, so you’ve done a great job! Love the blog 🙂

Sounds amazing Teffy – have fun!
Looks refreshing! Can’t wait to taste!
Thanks Kelleyn!
you know, I never thought of adding fruit to tea drinks! Gotta try something like this soon. And I’m loving all that greenery–you can never have too much of it in my opinion.
Thanks Ellie- It gives a lovely natural sweetness (and you can add frozen fruit instead of ice cubes to keep the drink cool and not dilute it!)
Love the idea of this, will have to give it a try!
Thank you Emma 🙂
