To make the syrup, put the lime zest and juice, mint and sugar, into a small pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Bubble for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture becomes a little syrupy. Cool and store in a sterilised jar. This will make more than you need but will keep, chilled, for a week.Step 2
