Rooibos – 'red bush' – is South Africa's national drink, made from the needle-like leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant.
It's naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins, with a smooth, sweet and nutty flavour and hints of honey and vanilla. It never turns bitter, so you can't over-brew it.
Drink it black, with milk like a builder's tea, or iced with lemon.

Ingredients: rooibos.
Rooibos grows only in the Cederberg region of South Africa's Western Cape. After harvesting, the leaves are cut, bruised and left to oxidise in the sun, which develops their red colour and sweet, rounded flavour.
Brew with freshly boiled water for 7–10 minutes. Lovely with chocolate, nuts, cheese and warming spices.
