Mango and Lychee Green Tea Gin and Tonic

teas.co.uk · 10 min plus chilling · Makes 2 glasses

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea
• 150ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 50ml gin
• 200ml chilled tonic water
• 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
• Plenty of ice

Method

1. Boiled water first rests a minute or so; then the 2 bags of mango and lychee green tea steep 3 minutes and come out unsqueezed before chilling.
2. Two ice filled glasses share the chilled mango and lychee tea and the gin.
3. Top with chilled tonic water and add the lime juice.
4. Stir gently, finish with lime slices, and serve straight away.
5. A fruit forward or lychee gin doubles the fruit note; a classic London Dry keeps it restrained and lets the green tea show.
