Exact quantities, then the method.
This steeps Hyson Pineapple Infused Black Tea slowly in cold water overnight, with fresh pineapple and lime dropped into the jug. The long cold steep pulls out a smooth, naturally sweet flavour with very little tannin, so it never turns bitter or stewed the way a hot brew left too long can.

Method
- Drop the 5 tea bags into a 1L jug or bottle and pour over the cold filtered water.
- Add the fresh pineapple and lime slices to the jug.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours, or overnight. The slow cold steep keeps the flavour smooth and low in tannin.
- Lift out the tea bags. Taste, and stir in a little honey or sugar syrup if you want it sweeter.
- Pour over plenty of ice and serve, spooning some of the steeped fruit into each glass.
- A ripe pineapple gives a sweeter brew; check ripeness by smelling the base, where the sweetness is most detectable.
