Chilled Twinings Orange and Cinnamon turns into a festive fizz: the spiced Black Tea and a little fresh orange juice, lengthened with soda, make a grown-up answer to fizzy orange. A cinnamon stick to stir and orange slices on top, and it earns a place at a Christmas table, no alcohol needed.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Twinings Orange and Cinnamon
- 300ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 100ml orange juice, chilled
- 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
- 200ml chilled soda water
- Orange slices, a cinnamon stick and plenty of ice
Method
- Steep the 3 tea bags in the boiled water for 4 minutes, then lift them out and stir in the honey while warm.
- Leave the tea to cool, then chill it well.
- Fill two tall glasses with ice and divide the chilled tea and the orange juice between them.
- Top each glass with chilled soda water and stir gently.
- Finish with orange slices and a cinnamon stick to stir, and serve straight away.
- Leave the cinnamon stick in the glass; it releases more spice as you drink, so the last sip is warmer than the first.
