Rooibos tea (known in Britain as Redbush), grown in South Africa is naturally caffiene free and low in tannins so it's healthier and doesn't have the heavy tannin taste that puts me off most regular teas. You can also buy Organic Rooibos which is even better. This iced tea lasts for ages in the fridge and it's really light and refreshing! Ingredients:
8 rooibos tea bags |
4 stalks mint |
1 lemon |
1 orange |
2 slices ginger |
1 tablespoon honey (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut the orange and lemon into 4 thick slices each.
2. Put all the ingredients into a glass jug and cover with boiling water.
3. Leave to stand for 30 minutes.
4. Strain, lightly squeezing the excess liquid from the teabags, fruit and mint.
5. Pour strained tea into a 2L container and top up with cold water.
6. Serve over ice with a little sugar syrup (if you like it sweeter) and a few slices of mixed citrus fruit (if you want to show off) - .
