Preparing a perfect cup of ROOIBOS

Preparing a Perfect cup of Rooibos is really quite easy. It can be made much like ordinary tea, in an ordinary tea pot:

1- Rinse the teapot with boiling water to heat it up.

2- Add 1 Rooibos bag per cup.

3- Pour boiling water on the pot and keep it warm (Slow brewing the pot on the stove give good result)

4- Allow to infuse 3 minutes and enjoy!

Rooibos can also be prepared in a microwave oven with little effort:
For a single cup, place one rooibos bag in a cup of cold water and microwave at maximum power for 2 minutes. (Use a glass tea pot and follow the above proportions for larger amount).

Rooibos is delicious Hot or Cold, with milk or lemon or simply on its own.
If desired, Rooibos can be sweetened with sugar or honey, but needs less sweetener than ordinary tea since it is less astringent and bitter. Another advantage is that Rooibos can be reheated with no loss of flavor.

The clean, aromatic flavor of Rooibos can safely be enjoyed in unlimited quantity throughout the day, with no harmful side effects.
