Apple and pear are gentle flavours, so this Twinings green needs a soft touch to show them off. Let the boiled kettle sit for a minute until it is down to about 80C, steep for two minutes, and you will taste mellow orchard fruit on a clean green leaf. Push the heat higher and the fruit fades while the tea turns sharp.

You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea
- 200ml freshly boiled water, cooled for about a minute (around 80C)
- A little honey, 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 minutes, no longer, to keep it mellow and let the fruit through.
- Lift out the bag without squeezing it, and add a little honey only if you feel it needs it.
- Try it without honey first; the apple and pear bring their own sweetness, and sugar can tip it towards squash.
