🔥 Brewing The Perfect Cup
To unlock the full potential of your twinings lemon and ginger, specific hydration techniques are recommended. The dried citrus peel needs hot water to rehydrate and release its zest, while the ginger root needs time to impart its warmth. Please find our expert instructions below for a revitalising hot serve, a thirst quenching iced tea, or our famous “Cold Buster” tonic.
The Revitalising Hot Serve Brewing Guide
-
Measure: Use one individual lemon ginger tea bag per cup (approximately 200ml).
-
Pour: Use freshly boiled water. The high temperature is essential to activate the dried lemon peel and lemongrass.
-
Steep: Infuse for 2 to 3 minutes for a balanced, zesty cup. Leave for up to 5 minutes if you want to extract maximum ginger heat for a tea for colds.
-
Herbalist Tip: Cover your mug while steeping. Lemon oils are highly volatile and will evaporate in the steam if left uncovered.
The Zesty Iced Lemonade Brewing Guide
-
The Prep: Steep 2 bags in 200ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a concentrated citrus base.
-
The Chill: Remove bags and allow the liquid to cool completely.
-
The Serve: Pour over a tall glass of ice and top with still or sparkling water. Add a slice of fresh cucumber or mint for a hydrating caffeine free iced tea.
The “Cold Buster” Honey Tonic Brewing Guide
-
Why Try It: This is the most popular alternative way to drink this blend, acting as a non alcoholic “Hot Toddy” for days when you feel under the weather.

The Concentrate: Steep 2 bags in a large mug of boiling water for 4 minutes.
-
The Boost: Stir in a teaspoon of high quality Manuka honey and a pinch of cayenne pepper or turmeric.
