This is about as English as a mocktail gets. Chill a brew of Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea, then build it up with cloudy apple juice, a squeeze of lemon and a splash of soda. The result is a long, orchard fresh glass with a little fizz and no alcohol, the sort of thing to hand round in the garden.

⏱ 10 min plus chilling 🍽 Makes 2 glasses 📊 Easy 📚 Tea Mocktails

You'll need

3 tea bags of Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea
300ml freshly boiled water, cooled for about a minute (around 80C)
100ml cloudy apple juice, chilled
150ml chilled soda water
1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced
Plenty of ice

Method

Let the boiled water stand for about a minute, then steep the 3 bags for 3 minutes and lift them out without squeezing.
Leave to cool, then chill.
Fill two tall glasses with ice and pour the chilled tea over, then add the apple juice.
Add the lemon juice, top each with chilled soda water, and stir gently.
Finish with lemon slices and serve straight away.
Use cloudy apple juice rather than clear for extra depth and a more rounded, less acidic finish.

What you'll end up with: A long, lightly fizzy drink tasting of apple and pear with a lemon lift, and nothing alcoholic about it.
