2. Pour in 120ml of the chilled black tea, 60ml of lychee syrup, 15ml of fresh lemon juice, and 5ml of rose water.

3. Assemble and Top

1. Fill a tall highball glass to the brim with fresh ice cubes.
2. Strain the chilled tea mixture into the prepared glass.
3. Top with 60ml of sparkling water and give one gentle stir from the bottom to lift the flavors without losing the fizz.
