Punch

Borage, cucumber and mint give a subtle but essential fragrance to a classic Pimm's drink. Let all the ingredients chill together in the jug before topping up with the alcohol at the last minute.

• several springs of borage flowers
• 1/4 cucumber
• 1 orange, scrubbed
• ice cubes
• 1/4 bottle Pimm's, chilled
• several springs of mint or lemon balm
• chilled lemonade for topping up
• extra borage flowers to decorate

Remove each of the borage flowerheads from the green calyx by gently easing it out. Halve the cucumber lengthways and cut into slices. Chop the orange into small chunks leaving the skin on. Put the cucumber and orange in a large jug and add the ice cubes, Pimm's, mint or lemon balm and borage. Top up with lemonade, mix well to combine and serve decorated with extra borage flowers.
