Exact quantities, then the method.
Twinings Little Lift is a green tea and matcha blend lifted with lemongrass and a little ginger. Like any green tea it dislikes boiling water, so let the kettle settle to around 80C first, then keep the steep short. Done that way it stays fresh and a touch warming, never bitter.

Makes one cup. Do not squeeze the bag; a slice of lemon suits it.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Twinings Little Lift
- 200ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- A slice of lemon, to taste (optional)

- Put the Little Lift bag in your cup and pour the water on.

- Take the Little Lift bag out without a squeeze; a lemon slice is optional.
