Iced HOJA with honey and lime

Bright, lightly sweet and ready in ten minutes. HOJA's naturally smooth, gentle sweetness means it needs very little help, so this iced version keeps things simple: a strong brew, a little honey, a squeeze of lime and plenty of ice.

Serves 2

You'll need

• 3 HOJA tea bags
• 300ml just-boiled water
• 1 to 2 tsp honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 lime
• A large handful of ice
• 200ml cold water
• Fresh mint, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Steep the 3 tea bags in 300ml of just-boiled water for 5 to 6 minutes. Using an extra bag gives you a stronger brew that stands up to the ice.
2. Remove the bags and stir in the honey while the tea is still warm so it dissolves.
3. Squeeze in the juice of half the lime and top up with 200ml of cold water.
4. Fill two glasses with ice, pour over the tea and finish with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint.

Make it your own

• Sparkling: swap the cold water for sparkling water just before serving.
• Batch it: scale up, keep it in a jug in the fridge and enjoy it within 2 days.
• Ginger kick: add a few slices of fresh ginger while the tea steeps.
