4oz superfine (caster) sugar
3 fl oz Gin
7 fl oz tonic water
Juice of 3-4 limes
6-12 slices of fresh lime
12-18 fresh mint leaves

Place the sugar and 3 fl oz water in a saucepan over a low/medium heat until the sugar has dissolved – be careful not to let it boil. Leave to cool completely.

When cool, pour the syrup into a pitcher and add the lime juice, gin and tonic water and stir well.

Take six 2.5 oz lolly moulds and add a slice or two of lime and 2-3 mint leaves to each, then top up with the lolly mixture.
Add the sticks and freeze until solid – overnight is best.
