Rinse the cherries. Pit them with a cherry pitter or with a knife.Place the cherries in a cooking pot with the honey, anise seeds, cloves, water and the juice of half a lime. Put the lid on the pot and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat. With a masher, mash the cherries to a pulp.Stir well. Let it soak in the pot for another 5 minutes.Pour this pulp through a sieve so that you only catch the juice and put it in the fridge to cool down.
Divide the ice cubes between the glasses until they are 3/4 filled up. Spread the cherry juice over it. Top up with mild tonic water.
You can decorate the glasses with some mint leaves and extra cherries.
