Twinings Balance is a caffeine-free herbal led by hibiscus, which brings a bright, almost cranberry-like tartness. A delicate rose sits behind it and a cool peppermint finishes the cup. Give it a five minute steep in just-boiled water to draw out the colour and the rose.

- Pour over the freshly boiled water.

- Lift out the bag, add a little honey if you like, and enjoy. No milk needed.
