Exact quantities, then the method.
Fizzy water and a sweet fruit tea make natural partners. Brew Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea, chill it well, then lengthen it with soda and a good squeeze of lime; the bubbles carry the mango and lychee right to the top of the glass. No alcohol, just a long, fruity cooler for a warm afternoon.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea
- 300ml freshly boiled water, cooled to around 80C (check with a thermometer)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 200ml chilled soda water or lemonade
- 1 lime, half juiced and half sliced
- A few pieces of mango, to garnish
- Plenty of ice
Method
- With the boiled water rested a minute, steep the 3 bags of mango and lychee for 3 minutes and remove them unsqueezed.
- While warm, the mango and lychee tea can take honey; cool it, then chill.
- Pour the chilled mango and lychee tea into two tall iced glasses, stopping short of the top.
- Add the lime juice and top each mango glass with chilled soda water, stirring gently.
- Finish with lime slices and mango pieces, and serve straight away.
- Prefer it sweeter? Use lemonade in place of the soda; it softens the lime and suits anyone who finds the plain version a little dry.
