Exact quantities, then the method.
Iced camomile is underrated: chilled and sharpened with lemon, Twinings Calm becomes a soft, floral jug, rather like a honey and camomile lemonade. The lemongrass keeps it lively, and there is no caffeine in it.

Makes a jug for four. Brew strong and chill, then pour the camomile long over ice with lemon and mint.
You'll need
- 4 tea bags of Twinings Calm
- 800ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced
- A few sprigs of fresh mint
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Steep the 4 bags of camomile strong, 6 minutes in the boiled water, and lift them out.
- If using honey, stir it into the warm camomile, then cool and chill the jug.
- Tip the chilled camomile into a large jug with the lemon juice.
- Lemon slices and mint go into the camomile jug, then plenty of ice; serve in tall glasses.
- Sweeten it lightly while warm, as camomile can turn bitter if over-brewed.
