Warming and soothing, this rum mocktail is an indulgent medley of flavours and perfect as a nightcap. The layered sweetness and smokiness of the Ovant Royal, a non-alcoholic dark spirit, combines with the bold, full-flavoured tea, citrus and light sweet and spicy notes to round out the taste. Served warm, it has a brisk orange hue, and the addition of a clove-studded lemon wheel to garnish adds appeal.
