Exact quantities, then the method.
Brew Twinings Ginger Green Tea good and strong, chill it, then lengthen it with soda and lime and you have a homemade answer to ginger ale, only with a green tea backbone behind the spice. Grate in a little fresh root ginger if you want real heat. No alcohol, plenty of fizz.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Twinings Ginger Green Tea
- 300ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 200ml chilled soda water
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- A small piece of fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Let the boiled water rest a minute; the 3 bags of ginger green tea steep 4 minutes, then come out without pressing.
- Stir in the honey while warm, add the grated ginger if you want more heat, then leave to cool and chill.
- Pour the chilled ginger green tea into two tall glasses of ice, room left at the top.
- Add the lime juice, then chilled soda over each ginger glass; stir gently.
- Lime slices on top, and serve the ginger fizz now.
- Use ginger beer rather than soda water for a double-ginger spritz that is noticeably fuller and spicier.
