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 for about a minute (around 80C)
- 50ml gin
- 200ml chilled tonic water
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Let the boiled water stand for about a minute, steep the 2 bags for 3 minutes, then lift them out without squeezing and chill.
- Fill two glasses with ice and divide the chilled tea and gin between them.
- Top with chilled tonic water and add the lime juice.
- Stir gently, finish with lime slices, and serve straight away.
- A fruit forward or lychee gin doubles the fruit note; a classic London Dry keeps it restrained and lets the green tea show.
