Getting this right comes down to the water: let the kettle stand a moment so it is off the boil before it hits the leaf. Green Tea turns bitter if you scald it, so around 80C and a short two to three minute steep keep Twinings Metabolism fresh and lightly citrussy.

Makes one cup. Do not squeeze the bag, and add a slice of lemon if you fancy it.
You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Twinings Metabolism
- 200ml freshly boiled water, cooled for about a minute (around 80C)
- A slice of lemon, to taste (optional)
Method
- Boil the kettle, then let it stand for about a minute so the water drops to around 80C.
- Pop the bag into your cup and pour the water over.
- Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, no longer, to keep its flavour gentle.
- Lift the bag out without squeezing it, then add a slice of lemon if you like.
- If it comes out grassy or sharp, shorten the next steep rather than reaching for sugar.
