Name: A Bright Cup of Mango and Passionfruit
Total time: 4 min
Yield: Serves 1
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 1 tea bag of Lipton Mango and Passionfruit; 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil; 1 thin slice of fresh lime; 1 250ml mug, warmed; 1 saucer for covering during steep

This is a clean, tropical fruit tea that brews simply: boiling water, three minutes, and that is really it. The only tweak worth making is a thin slice of fresh lime dropped in at the end, which sharpens the mango and passionfruit and stops the cup tasting flat.

Keep the steep to three minutes so it stays bright rather than stewed. Makes one mug.
