African Red Bush Rooibos Sun Tea Recipes

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!

AFRICAN RED BUSH (ROOIBOS) SUN TEA

African Red Bush (Rooibos) Sun Tea image

With the intense heat we get in the southwestern portion of the US every summer, a nice tall glass of ice tea really hits the spot. I love this particular type of tea because it has so many health benefits. It is herbal, low in tannin and has no caffeine. I used the Numi brand, but other brands as long as they are good quality should work as well. Once done I like to put the tea in a tall glass with a slice of lime or lemon and a tsp. of agave nectar to sweeten.

ROOIBOS (SOUTH AFRICAN RED BUSH) AND LAVENDER TEA

Rooibos (South African Red Bush) and Lavender Tea image

Yesterday I was going through the drive-through coffee hut and saw a brand of tea of which I was not familiar. The brand is Zhena's Gypsy Tea and one of her "specialteas" is one marketed as Red Bush Lavender Tea. Here is my copycat version of this mild-tasting herbal tea. Red Bush (in Afrikaans: Rooibos) is available online and in some natural food stores and gourmet shops. Www.gypsytea.com describes red bush tea as: : "Rooibos (pronounced roy-boss) has been used for its medicinal properties in South Africa since the early 1900's. South Africans attribute the plant with several positive benefits including headache relief, reduced allergic reactions, and even colic relief in babies. Scientists have found Rooibos to be beneficial in the treatment of liver diseases, diabetes mellitus, certain skin disorders, and cataracts". Caffeine-free and low in tannins.

RED BUSH-INFUSED VERMOUTH

Red Bush-Infused Vermouth image

This tea-infused vermouth was developed by EO bartender Milos Zica for the Quiet Storm cocktail (page 118). Also known as rooibos, South African red bush tea is a robust herbal tea with a rich mahogany color. We recommend the Silence rooibos tea blend from T Salon, which is where the cocktail's name partially derives from. Like the Vermouth de Provence (opposite), this vermouth is created with the hot infusion method that requires steeping the tea and other ingredients in a small amount of vermouth to make a concentrate. The color of this infused vermouth is a rich pumpkin orange.

Yield makes 3/4 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 (750 ml) bottle Dolin Blanc vermouth
1 tablespoon T Salon Silence red rooibos tea
Peel of 1 lemon, in strips

Steps:

Pour 1 cup of the vermouth into a small saucepan over low heat. Add the tea and slowly bring to a boil, then remove immediately from the heat. Squeeze the lemon peel over the mixture, then drop it in. Stir gently and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Strain the infusion through cheesecloth into the vermouth bottle with the remaining vermouth. Store at room temperature. Will keep indefinitely.

HOW TO MAKE ROOIBOS TEA: 6 WAYS TO ICE AND BREW

From simplelooseleaf.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins

Regular steeping. The best thing about rooibos, after the sweet earthly flavor is the ease of steeping. Most real loose leaf tea will require patience and learning if you want to avoid bitterness, especially green tea.
Rooibos latte. Enjoying rooibos latte in the evening is one of the best ways to end a day. Rooibos may reduce the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.
Sun-brewed rooibos. Sun-brewing is a fun way to effortlessly brew and enjoy tea in summer. All you need is a jar, tea leaves and sun. Just like black tea, rooibos is suitable for sun brewing.
Iced rooibos. You can make rooibos iced tea in two ways—by cold-brewing or using hot-brewed infusion with a lot of ice. It contains no caffeine, so it’s a perfect summer drink for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women and anyone over-sensitive to caffeine.
Rooibos syrup. Rooibos syrup can be used for making cocktails, desserts, shaved ice or mixed with water and ice, as a refreshing summer drink. Use about 10 grams of pure of flavored rooibos loose leaf tea, ½ liter of water, 30 grams of honey and 300 grams of sugar.
Rooibos detox tea. Every tea drinker occasionally tries a detox tea. Detox tea is usually best avoided—especially if you don’t know the ingredients and want to avoid laxative and diuretic effect that won’t help you lose weight, but lose fluids instead.
