The Perfect Cup South Africans drink on average 5 - 6 cups of rooibos a day. It has approximately a 40% share of their hot drinks market, making it a strong rival to regular tea and coffee. You will find it hard to locate a restaurant or tea shop that does not have Rooibos on the menu. It is enjoyed by all ages and in a wide variety of recipes. To make our Redbush Tea in the traditional way we recommend that you follow this simple method. Use one Redbush Tea bag per cup. Add freshly boiled water to your cup or teapot. Allow to infuse for 2 - 5 minutes, keeping your pot or mug warm. You can drink Redbush with milk and sugar, but try it first on its own or with a slice of fresh lemon. Served chilled and iced, mixed with fruit juice or wines, Redbush also makes a truly delicious cocktail. Redbush Tea can be reheated without loss of flavour. In South Africa they would traditionally keep a pot boiling on the stove all day, topping it up with more tea or water as needed. We do not however recommend that you microwave the tea to reheat. Although the flavour is still excellent it is thought to damage the flavonoid content.
