1 part cachaca
2 parts hot water
brown sugar
a lime
a twig of fresh mint

glass for hot drinks or mug

Cut the lime into eight wedges and put them along with the twig of fresh mint in the glass. For a regular sized glass add about 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and smash it all together. Boil up the water, and pour it in the glass. Add the cachaca and stir. Garnish with another twig of fresh mint and serve.

Keep fresh mint in the fridge rolled-up in a plastic bag. By doing that it will stay fresh longer.
