Exact quantities, then the method.
A mojito is built on mint and lime, so a grassy Green Tea slots in without a fight. Chilled Tropical Sun Moringa adds a soft, herbal green layer under the mint, lime and white rum, for a lighter, fresher take on the classic. Top with soda over plenty of ice. For over-18s, one measure per glass.

You'll need
- 2 tea bags of Tropical Sun Moringa
- 200ml just-boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar syrup
- 50ml white rum (25ml per glass)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- A good handful of fresh mint
- Chilled soda water, to top, and plenty of ice
Method
- Let the boiled water stand for a minute, then steep the 2 moringa bags for 4 minutes, lift them out, stir in the honey and chill.
- Gently muddle the mint and a few lime wedges in the base of two tall glasses.
- Fill the glasses with ice, then divide the chilled moringa tea and the white rum between them.
- Top each with chilled soda water and stir gently.
- Finish with extra mint and a lime wedge, and serve straight away. One glass each.
- Muddle the mint with a few gentle presses, not hard; bruised leaves turn the drink sharp and grassy.
