ROOIBOS CHAI



Rooibos Chai image

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.

SOUTH AFRICAN ROOIBOS (REDBUSH) ICED TEA



South African Rooibos (Redbush) Iced Tea image

Rooibos tea (known in Britain as Redbush), grown in South Africa is naturally caffiene free and low in tannins so it's healthier and doesn't have the heavy tannin taste that puts me off most regular teas. You can also buy Organic Rooibos which is even better. This iced tea lasts for ages in the fridge and it's really light and refreshing!

From healthline.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
  • Low in Tannins and Free from Caffeine and Oxalic Acid. Caffeine is a natural stimulant found in both black tea and green tea. Consuming moderate amounts of caffeine is generally safe.
  • Packed With Antioxidants. Rooibos is associated with health benefits due to its high levels of health-promoting antioxidants, which include aspalathin and quercetin (7, 8).
  • May Boost Heart Health. Antioxidants in rooibos are linked to a healthier heart (13). This may happen in different ways (14). First, drinking rooibos tea may have beneficial effects on blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (14).
  • May Reduce Cancer Risk. Test-tube studies note that the antioxidants quercetin and luteolin, which are present in rooibos tea, can kill cancer cells and prevent tumor growth (17, 18).
  • May Benefit People With Type 2 Diabetes. Rooibos tea is the only known natural source of the antioxidant aspalathin, which animal studies suggest may have anti-diabetic effects (19).
