Mix the drink

1. Steep the rooibos tea bags and one rosemary sprig in boiling water for 6 minutes. Remove both without squeezing the bags, then chill the tea for 30 minutes.
2. Add 120 ml chilled rooibos tea, grapefruit juice, lime juice and maple syrup to an ice-filled shaker. Shake firmly for 10 seconds.
3. Divide four clear ice cubes between two chilled stemless goblets and double-strain the mixture evenly into the glasses.
4. Top each glass with 60 ml sparkling water and give one gentle lift with a bar spoon to combine without losing the bubbles.
