The lemongrass and ginger in Tropical Sun Wellbeing make it a natural for a Thai-style cooler. Brew it strong, chill it, then lengthen it with soda, lime and cucumber over ice. The result is aromatic and savoury-green, alcohol-free, and as refreshing as anything you would order at a Thai restaurant.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Tropical Sun Wellbeing
- 300ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 200ml chilled soda water
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- A few slices of cucumber
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Brew strong: steep the 3 bags in the boiled water for 6 minutes, then lift them out.
- 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.
- Fresh Thai basil in place of regular mint gives a more complex, aniseed-spiced finish that suits the lemongrass and ginger well.
