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 for about a minute (around 80C)
- 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 stand for about a minute, then steep the 3 bags for 4 minutes and lift them out without squeezing.
- Stir in the honey while warm, add the grated ginger if you want more heat, 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.
- Use ginger beer rather than soda water for a double-ginger spritz that is noticeably fuller and spicier.
