• 200ml chilled tonic water
• 1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced

1. Let the boiled water stand for about a minute, steep the 2 bags for 3 minutes, then lift them out without squeezing and chill.
2. Fill two glasses with ice and divide the chilled tea and gin between them.
3. Top with chilled tonic water and add the lemon juice.
4. Stir gently, finish with lemon and apple slices, and serve straight away.
5. An elderflower or apple infused gin suits this best, doubling up the orchard flavours.
