Exact quantities, then the method.
Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea is a flavoured green, so the job is to look after the green base and let the fruit ride on top of it. Pour water that has come off the boil and settled to about 80C, give it two minutes, and you get rounded mango and lychee over a soft, unscorched leaf. Straight-from-the-kettle water only sharpens the tea and buries the fruit.

You'll need
- 1 tea bag of Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea
- 200ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- A little honey, to taste (optional)
Method
- Let the boiled kettle settle to about 80C for the mango and lychee green tea, judged by thermometer or by a kettle that sets its own heat.
- Drop the mango and lychee bag in a cup and pour on the water.
- Steep for 2 minutes, no longer, to keep it smooth and let the fruit come through.
- Remove the mango and lychee bag without squeezing; a little honey is optional.
- For the most distinct fruit note, use water at exactly 80C; hotter water pushes the green base forward and masks the mango and lychee.
