Fresh Mint
Super easy to grow in the garden, but watch out as it spreads like wildfire. Unless you are Mojito obsessed, it might be best to plant in a pot to keep it contained. Grow with seeds or as a small plant straight into the soil and pick off the leaves when needed.
Fresh Limes
Give them a roll with your hand on a hard surface to get the most juice out of them.
Soda Water
Choose whatever your favourite soda water brand is and chill in the fridge.
