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.

- 2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
- 200ml chilled soda water

Method
- Brew on the short side: steep the 3 bags in the boiled water for 4 minutes, then lift them out.
- Stir in the honey while warm to balance the bitterness, then leave to cool and chill.
- Fill two tall glasses with ice and pour the chilled tea over, leaving room at the top.
- Add the lime juice, top each with chilled soda water, and stir gently.
- Finish with lime slices and serve straight away.
- Serve in a wide glass with a slice of orange beside the lime for an aperitivo feel.
