Quince and Mint Spritzer

This light spritzer has a way of delighting everyone at the table, from the tiniest sippers to grown-up guests. It’s sparkling, slightly tart, and infused with the herbal coolness of mint. Simple to prepare, yet worthy of any table — whether it’s a birthday picnic or a sunlit garden brunch.
If you’re serving little ones who aren’t fond of bubbles (my son included), feel free to swap the sparkling water for still. And a little tip: make the mint tea ahead of time so it has time to chill fully before mixing.
The recipe first appeared in Pere ja Kodu magazine in July 2021, and ever since, I’ve received one recurring question: Where can I find that amazing quince syrup? My go-to is Krupi Talu — you’ll find their beautiful syrups and other small-batch goods on the Talutoidu e-store.
