A light and refreshing summer option – serve in mugs for children. Mine particularly like adding extra mint leaves of their own.

4 large cucumbers

100ml/4fl oz olive oil

5 ice cubes

5–6 sprigs of fresh mint

1 small garlic clove, finely sliced

salt and pepper, to taste

dash of full-cream milk

2 tsp horseradish

1 Peel and remove the seeds of 3 of the cucumbers, leaving 1 with seeds and the skin on for good colour. Roughly chop them and place in a large bowl with the olive oil, ice cubes, mint, garlic and salt and pepper.

2 Cover the top of the bowl with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

3 Place all ingredients from the bowl into a blender and add the milk and horseradish. Blend until completely smooth and check the seasoning, adding as necessary.

4 Keep chilled until just before serving.

Makes: 3 large or 6 small portions

Prep time: ½ hour

TIP

For an extra treat, fry a little pancetta until crunchy, then sprinkle on top.
