• Enough cubed ice (about 150g)
• 1 small saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Chill a short tumbler in the freezer.
2. Steep the tea bag in 80ml of freshly boiled water for five minutes, then lift it out and cool the concentrate.
3. Fill the tumbler with ice and pour the cooled tea over it.
4. Add the spiced dark rum and the lemon juice, and stir once.
5. Twist a strip of orange peel over the glass to release its oils, then drop it in.
6. For an alcohol free version, swap the rum for warm spiced apple juice with a pinch of cinnamon.
