Put the dried fruit in a large jug and cover it with the cold water.
Leave to rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. The fruit rehydrates gradually and releases its aroma without turning bitter, which can happen with fresh peel.
Add the lightly bruised mint leaves just before serving.
Serve with ice. The fruit can be eaten afterwards or reused for a second jug.
