Hand held foods: Gin and tonic ice lollies

[miss_s_b]

You will need:

• Some mathematical ability
• A freezer and some ice lolly moulds
• Some gin
• Some tonic
• Some caster sugar
• A lime

Method:

• Work out the total volume of your ice lolly moulds.
• Cut your lime into fine wedges - I get 16 out of 1 lime - and put one wedge in each hole of the ice lolly mould.
• Make a mixture in a jug that is 1/4 gin and 3/4 tonic to about 95% of the volume of your ice lolly moulds - for instance, if the moulds are a litre total, you want to make about 950ml G&T; this leaves room for the lime wedges and the sugar. Don't make it any ginnier than this or it won't set properly.
• Add sugar to the tune of 10g per 100ml liquid, and stir till it's dissolved and the fizz has gone out of the tonic.
• Put into the moulds and freeze overnight.
