African Queen

African Queen

Every Friday, Company\'s Agony Uncle, Mikey Melis, and Lisa The Lush create their very own Ocado cocktail for you to try at the weekend...

We can\'t wait for the kick-off between England and Algeria tonight - but we\'re hoping for a better final score than against the USA last week! So we\'ve created the African Queen, a blend of typically African mint tea and good old English Pimms. Let\'s just hope it all ends in a result we can cheer about!

LISA THE LUSH SAYS:

\"Not my favourite cocktail, but then I\'m not a fan of iced tea. I love the mint though - so refreshing - and you can\'t beat Pimms on an English summer\'s day (even if it is grey!). Go England!\"

LISA THE LUSH GIVES THE AFRICAN QUEEN: 7/10

UNCLE MIKEY SAYS:

\"Love it - really refreshing! Not sure it\'s going to help England\'s chances against Algeria but let\'s hope so… now all we need is a lovely, hot sunny day to go with it – ahem…!!!

UNCLE MIKEY GIVES THE AFRICAN QUEEN: 9/10

HOW TO MAKE THE AFRICAN QUEEN:

1 teabag Moroccan Mint Green Tea (brewed and left to cool)

25ml Pimms

10ml sugar syrup (or 1 tbsp sugar)

Handful fresh mint leaves

Brew the tea and allow to cool. Fill a tall glass with ice, then pour over the tea. Add the Pimms and mint leaves, then stir. Garnish with another mint leaf.
