Different teas and recipes for rooibos
Rooibos herbal tea recipes Rooibos tea can be prepared and served as any other tea, but it can also be used in many different applications. It can be served with or with-out sugar, milk or cream, hot or iced, as a blended tea, or as the basis for a fruit punch or even a soup. Rooibos is also a meat tenderizer and can be used in marinades and sauces as a replacement for water or other liquids. Do not throw away unused Rooibos. Rooibos will not turn bitter if it is left to cool down. It makes an excellent iced tea and can also be reheated and served as normal. To make Iced Rooibos: 3 Rooibos teabags or 3 teaspoons loose tea Stevia, honey or sugar depending on taste 25ml lemon juice (one lemon's juice) Iced cubes Prepare 1 liter of strong Rooibos (by steeping 3 bags in 1 liter of boiling water for more than 10 minutes). (sugar or honey can be added to the warm Rooibos if a sweetened iced tea is required). Remove the teabags and allow it to cool down. Add lemon juice.

Stir and add ice (2 to 3 trays of ice will be enough to cool down the tea and dilute the concentrate) Serve immediately with more ice cubes, garnished with fruit slices and mint.
