PUT THE KETTLE ON

Gin and tonic tea bags have been launched by Fortnum and Mason. The boozy-inspired brew is a combination of green tea and hand-picked botanicals, including real juniper berries, coriander, lemon balm and fennel. The actual tea bag contains no alcohol just the flavours that are poured into gin during the distillation process. The upmarket brand is selling boxes of 15 silk envelopes as the material is thought to be the best for infusing the flavours of tea.
