Brewing

To make each cup taste like Africa, here's a quick and easy guide:

Water Temperature: Allow fresh, clean filtered water to boil gently at boiling point (approx 200 F or 90-100c degrees Celsius).

Steeping Time: The tea should steep for 5-7 minutes to ensure that all the flavour components are captured.

Serving: This aromatic mixture is best served hot or can be poured over ice and served as an iced tea.

Herbal Rooibos tea can also be made like black tea. Add lemon or a bit of milk with or without sugar and honey.

Ingredients

Rooibos – Aspalathus linearis
Honeybush – most commonly Cyclopia intermedia or Cyclopia subternata (both are used in tea)
Ginger – Zingiber officinale
Pepper – Piper nigrum (black pepper; sometimes Piper spp. more broadly if unspecified)
Blue Lotus – Nymphaea caerulea

Health Benefits

Our African Spice Tea not only tastes great but equally acts as medicine. Rooibos and Honeybush improves the immune systems against free radical activities as they are a source of antioxidants.
