Green Tea, Lime and Cucumber Spritz (Decaf Mocktail)

teas.co.uk · 10 min plus chilling · Makes 2 glasses

You'll need

• 3 tea bags of Twinings Pure Green Decaf Tea
• 300ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 200ml chilled soda water
• 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
• A few slices of cucumber
• Plenty of ice

Method

1. Let the boiled water stand a minute, then the 3 bags of decaf green tea get 3 minutes; lift them out, no squeezing.
2. Stir honey into the warm decaf green if you use it, then cool and chill.
3. Load two tall glasses with ice and a few cucumber slices, then pour over the chilled decaf green, leaving space on top.
4. Lime juice goes in, chilled soda tops each cucumber glass, and a gentle stir follows.
5. Lime slices on the cucumber spritz, then serve.
6. The cucumber is optional, but it earns its place: it keeps the drink fresh and stops the soda tasting flat.
