    "content_text": "This is the most refreshing way to drink the soursop and moringa blend on a hot day. Brew it strong, sweeten it lightly with honey, then build it over ice with cucumber, lime and mint, which turn the tea's creamy-tropical and green notes into something crisp and cooling, almost spa-like.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
