Ingredients

Original flavour Pringle
Cucumber
Apple
Fresh mint sprigs
Zest of grapefruit (or orange)

Method

First, sponge the Pringle to desalinate it. Next, steep it in Sloanes or possibly Pimms No.1.

Take two thin circular slices of apple (without pips) and cut into quarter segments. Arrange one slice of cucumber on the sponged and steeped Pringle, and top with two apple segments and one mint sprig. Scatter the zest liberally over the apple and use a pipette to add a few drops of Sloanes. Serve with strawberries, cream, and hearts at peace under an English Heaven.
