Lemongrass and Ginger Herbal Spritz (Mocktail)
Chilled Tropical Sun Wellbeing with soda, lime and cucumber, a Thai style, alcohol free herbal cooler with lemongrass and ginger.
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.
