Exact quantities, then the method.
Here the bitterness of Tropical Sun Cerassie becomes the whole point: it makes a convincing alcohol-free stand-in for a bitter aperitivo spritz, the Aperol sort of thing, with none of the booze. Brew it short, take the edge off with a little honey, then build it over ice with lime and soda.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Tropical Sun Cerassie
- 300ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
- 200ml chilled soda water
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Keep the cerassie brew short: 4 minutes for the 3 bags in the boiled water before they come out.
- Stir in the honey while warm to balance the bitterness, then leave to cool and chill.
- Two tall glasses with ice take the chilled cerassie, with room left at the top.
- Lime juice next, then chilled soda water over each cerassie spritz, stirred gently.
- Add lime slices to the cerassie and serve right away.
- Serve in a wide glass with a slice of orange beside the lime for an aperitivo feel.
