    "excerpt": "A fizzy, caffeine-free iced lemon and ginger cooler, brewed strong and lengthened with sparkling water, lemon and honey.",
    "content_text": "When the weather warms up, lemon and ginger does just as good a job cold as it does hot. Brewed strong, cooled, and lengthened with sparkling water, it makes a fizzy, gingery cooler far more interesting than lemonade, with no caffeine in it. A little honey stirred in while the tea is warm sweetens it evenly, and a wheel of lemon keeps it sharp.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
