You'll need

4 tea bags of Twinings Calm
800ml freshly boiled water (100C)
2 tablespoons honey (optional)

Method

Brew strong: steep the 4 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.
Pour the chilled tea into a large jug and add the lemon juice.
Add the lemon slices and mint, top with plenty of ice, and serve in tall glasses.
Sweeten it lightly while warm, as camomile can turn bitter if over brewed.
