Exact quantities, then the method.
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.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Lipton Mango and Passionfruit
- 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
- 1 thin slice of fresh lime
Equipment
- 1 250ml mug, warmed
- 1 saucer for covering during steep
Method
- Warm a mug; the mango tea gets 250ml of freshly boiled water.
- Add the mango bag, put a saucer on top and steep three minutes.
- Lift out the mango bag without a hard squeeze.
- Drop in a thin slice of fresh lime and drink.
- Keep the steep to three minutes; longer and the fruit flavour turns flat and slightly stewed.
