Toast some cashews or almonds, drizzle the honey over and allow to cool before
eating.

Take 2 cups of mint and steep in 2 cups of water for an hour or so. Add a half
cup of honey and continue simmering for another hour or until reduced by half.
Cool. Place some crushed ice into a tall glass, add 1 1/2 oz of good rum, the
juice of one lime and the mint syrup to taste. Top with sparkling water.
Garnish with sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge.
