    "content_text": "A jug of summer for a crowd: strong Ceylon tea cooled right down, then loosened with sparkling apple juice, a good squeeze of lemon and a last-minute splash of soda. The tea stops it being just sweet fizz, giving the bowl a bit of grown-up backbone, while berries and slices of orange and lime bob about looking the part.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/cocktails/ceylon-iced-punch/Build it ahead if you like, but hold back the soda and ice until people arrive so it stays lively, and there is plenty of fruit to fish out of the bottom.",
