Rooibos Rocks with rum, vanilla and cinnamon
Thanksgiving is a time for gathering family and friends around and celebrating all the good things that have happened this year. OK, in many ways 2020 hasn’t been the best year ever (no kidding!) but it was pretty tough for the Pilgrim Fathers too. However, they realised it was important to celebrate coming through it! This chai hot toddy recipe will certainly help to spread the goodwill and boost everyone’s spirits (oops, my hand slipped and I slightly overdid the rum…).
