Pomegranate makes one of the better tea spritzes. Chill a brew of Twinings Pomegranate Green Tea, build it over ice with soda and a squeeze of lime, and the tart fruit takes to the fizz at once. The deep ruby colour means it looks after itself on a drinks table, no garnish fuss required.

⏱ 10 min plus chilling 🍽 Makes 2 glasses 📊 Easy 📚 Tea Mocktails

You'll need

3 tea bags of Twinings Pomegranate Green 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 handful of pomegranate seeds
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 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 a scatter of pomegranate seeds, and serve straight away.
For deeper colour and a touch more tartness, stir a splash of pure pomegranate juice into each glass before topping with soda.

What you'll end up with: A tart, deep red fizz with sharp pomegranate and a lime edge, and not a drop of alcohol.
