Twinings Lemon and Ginger, 20 Tea Bags 30g
The middle-ground lemon-ginger: 37 percent ginger gives real warmth without the ferocity of the Teapigs version, and lemongrass plus lemon keep it bright, while fennel and blackberry leaf are deliberately there to sand off the harsh acidic edge cheaper blends have. That smoothness is what really sells it: the easy, balanced everyday choice, not the fieriest or the sharpest. The fennel adds a faint aniseed note, worth knowing. There is no caffeine; skip the marketing talk and enjoy it as a dependable, rounded daily warmer.
Twinings Lemon and Ginger, in brief.
Twinings Lemon and Ginger is a caffeine-free herbal infusion built on ginger root and lemongrass with lemon peel and natural lemon flavouring, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the classic warming citrus alternative to a plain peppermint or a plain camomile cup.
The ginger does the heat-lifting work, giving the cup its familiar warming bite that distinguishes a lemon-and-ginger from a plain lemon herbal, while the lemongrass and lemon peel sit on top as the citrus pair, the lemongrass providing the grassy citrus underpinning and the peel adding the brighter sharper top note. Twinings keep the ginger strong enough to feel in the throat without it turning harsh, and the pyramid bags give the roots and peel room to open as it brews.
A high-street lemon-and-ginger at an accessible price compared to specialist ginger root infusions, the recipe a sensible winter warmer that takes a slice of fresh lemon and a teaspoon of honey beautifully if you want to stretch a cup into a proper hot toddy of a herbal.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Thomas Twining set up shop at 216 Strand, London, in 1706; the same shop trades there now and is the world's longest running tea shop. Nine generations of the family led the company, and Stephen Twining is now its ambassador. Queen Victoria's Royal Warrant reached Twinings in 1837, and the Royal Household still takes its tea.

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: Take out the bags and let the Lemon and Ginger cool right down.
-
The Serve: Pour the chilled Lemon and Ginger into a tall glass over ice, then add still or sparkling water to fill. Add a slice of fresh cucumber or mint for a hydrating caffeine free iced tea.

-
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.
-
