HOMEMADE ROOIBOS CHAI TEA



Homemade Rooibos Chai Tea image

Rooibos tea (also known as red tea) is full of antioxidants and is naturally caffeine-free so it's totally fine to drink it in the evening instead of traditional black or green tea which are not caffeine-free. Adding some spices to rooibos tea makes it even more flavourful.

ROOIBOS CHAI

Rooibos leaves, which are grown in South Africa, resemble tea leaves but come from a different plant and don't have any tannins. They have recently made an appearance on store shelves here. You can substitute black tea in this recipe; add it during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
