Exact quantities, then the method.
This spritz takes a chilled brew of Twinings Pure Green Decaf and wakes it up with soda, fresh lime and a few rounds of cucumber. The result is bright and alcohol-free, easy enough for a warm afternoon yet calm enough for the evening, since there is no caffeine in it.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea
- 300ml freshly boiled water, cooled for about a minute (around 80C)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 200ml chilled soda water
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- A few slices of cucumber
- 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.
- Stir in the honey while warm if using, then leave to cool and chill.
- Fill two tall glasses with ice and a few cucumber slices, then 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.
- The cucumber is optional, but it earns its place: it keeps the drink fresh and stops the soda tasting flat.
