A splash goes into sparkling water for an instant fizz, into a gin and tonic, over yoghurt and granola, into iced tea, or into a glass of prosecco. The fresh passionfruit seeds stay in, so they hang suspended through the syrup and give it a proper tropical look.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
