teas.co.uk · 15 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Lipton Black Tea with Spanish Orange
• 200ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 200ml cold still water
• 2 thin fresh orange wheels
• 1 fresh thyme sprig
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)

Method

1. Steep the 2 tea bags of orange for four minutes in 200ml of just boiled water, a saucer on top, then lift them out.
2. Let the brew cool completely, standing the jug in cold water or chilling it in the fridge.
3. Pour the cooled orange tea over a tall glass of ice.
4. Top up with the cold water, easing it in down the back of a spoon.
5. Tuck in the orange wheels.
6. Roll the thyme sprig between your fingers to bruise it, then add it so the herb actually comes through.
7. Tip: rub a strip of orange peel round the rim before serving for a hit of scent on the first sip.
