Exact quantities, then the method.
This Twinings lemongrass blend makes a surprisingly good iced tea: the lemongrass and ginger turn fresh and lively over ice, and a squeeze of lemon sharpens the jug. No caffeine, so you can drink it all afternoon.

Makes a jug for four. Brew the lemongrass blend strong, chill it, then pour it over ice, long, with lemon and mint.
You'll need
- 4 tea bags of Twinings Detox
- 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
- Make it strong: 6 minutes in the boiled water for the 4 bags of lemongrass blend, then out they come.
- Honey goes into the warm lemongrass tea if using; then cool and chill.
- Combine the chilled lemongrass tea and the lemon juice in a large jug.
- Lemon slices, mint and a heap of ice finish the lemongrass jug; pour into tall glasses.
- A bruised stalk of fresh lemongrass dropped in deepens the flavour as it chills.
