Full recipe instructions for preparing Rooibos

πŸ”₯ Prep

  • Measure out 1 tsp of Rooibos and place it in a tea infuser or directly into a mug.
  • Measure out 200 ml of fresh water and set aside.

πŸ”₯ Cook

  • 1. Heat the 200 ml of water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches a rolling boil (β‰ˆ100Β°C), about 3 minutes.
  • 2. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the boiling water over the measured 1 tsp of Rooibos in the mug or infuser.
  • 3. Cover the mug and let the tea steep for 5 minutes to extract full flavor and color.
  • 4. After 5 minutes, remove the infuser or strain the leaves if using loose tea.

πŸ”₯ Serve
