Exact quantities, then the method.
This turns chilled Twinings Vanilla Black Tea into a homemade cream soda: the smooth vanilla note with a little sugar and a splash of soda tastes much like the old-fashioned bottled kind. Float a little milk on top and you have the look as well as the taste, all without alcohol.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Twinings Vanilla Flavoured Black Tea
- 300ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey, or to taste
- 200ml chilled soda water
- A splash of milk, optional
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Steep 3 tea bags of the vanilla black tea for 4 minutes in the boiled water, then discard them.
- Stir in the sugar while warm so it dissolves, then leave to cool and chill well.
- Ice two tall glasses and pour half the chilled vanilla tea into each.
- Top each vanilla glass with chilled soda; a gentle stir.
- Float a little milk on top for a cream-soda look, and serve straight away.
- Pour the floating milk slowly over the back of a spoon to keep it a white layer; that cream-soda look is most of the effect.
