Rooibos Rocks blog — Rooibos Recipe

Summer officially started on June 1 st and Rooibos Rocks like a good ‘un when the heat is on. Roll over regular iced tea and make way for this recipe from the Rainbow Nation of South Africa! Rooibos is sweet enough as it is, despite being sugar free, but if you want to kick it up a notch just add just a little peach juice and a drizzle of honey to get your taste buds rollin’ and tumblin’!

As a Mom, you don’t feel good about letting your kids guzzle sugar laden sodas and fruit juices. But some days, when you’re rushed off your feet, you just don’t have the time to prepare anything more healthy. 

The sweet, light and floral flavor of Honeybush Tea perfectly balances the tartness of the homemade apple pectin to create a jelly that’s irresistible on hot buttered toast. It’s also a winner for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You can even combine it with nuts and spices to provide a yummy filling for apple dumplings!

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day on the 17^th of March and that means the whole world goes fifty shades of green. Why green?  Because Ireland, getting a lot of rain, is known as the Emerald Isle?  Because in the Rebellion of 1798 the Irish wore green to distinguish themselves from the English “redcoats”.  Or because early St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made them invisible to leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see?  It’s all of the above.

It’s hard to beat a well baked brownie.  But we think this recipe kicks things up a notch.

We’re biased (obviously) but believe that adding in some Rooibos Rocks Chai not only makes for an even richer flavor but introduces an intriguing spiciness that transports your taste buds to far off India, conjures up images of the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the Golden Temple at Amritsar and the heavenly Lake Palace of Udaipur.  Really?  Yes, this recipe is that good!
