teas.co.uk · 10 min + chill · Serves 4

You'll need

• 4 Teapigs Lemon and Ginger tea temples
• 500ml rolling boil water
• 2 thin slices of fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons honey, to taste
• 500ml chilled soda water
• Ice, lemon wheels and mint, to serve; optional 50ml vodka or dark rum per glass

Method

1. Steep the 4 temples and the fresh ginger slices in 500ml rolling boil water, covered, for 7 minutes for a strong, properly gingery base.
2. Lift the temples and ginger out and stir the honey through while warm.
3. Let the lemon ginger cool, then chill it until cold.
4. Fill tall glasses or a jug with ice and divide the lemon and ginger base, then top with chilled soda water.
5. Stir gently, garnish with lemon wheels and mint. For an adult long drink, add 50ml vodka or dark rum to the glass before the soda.
6. Caffeine free as a soft drink. Cover the jug of iced lemon and ginger and keep it chilled; drink it soon, since we cannot vouch for how long home made lemon ginger tea keeps.
