Background: Isospin mixing is an interesting feature of atomic nuclei that plays a crucial role in the astrophysical nuclear reactions. However, variational nuclear structure models cannot describe it in a straightforward manner. Purpose: We propose a tractable method to describe isospin mixing within the framework of a generator coordinate method and demonstrate its usability. Method: We generate basis wave functions by applying the Fermi transition operator to the wave functions of isobars. The superposition of these basis wave functions and variationally obtained wave functions quantitatively describes isospin mixing. Results: We apply our method to 14N and show that it reasonably describes both T = 0 and 1 states and their mixing. The energy spectrum and E1 transition strengths are compared with the experimental data. Conclusion: The proposed method is effective in describing isospin mixing and is particularly useful for discussing of alpha-capture reactions of N = Z nuclei.
