A brief history of rooibos tea
Rooibos tea is made from the shoots of a coniferous shrub native to South Africa (Aspalathus linearis). Rooibos means "red bush" and got its name from the characteristic reddish color of the dried leaves and tea. Europe only recently discovered this tea, but South Africans have known its beneficial effects for 300 years.
Preparation of rooibos tea:
For a cup of tea, boil 1 teaspoon of tea grass and let it steep for 4-5 minutes.
Since the tea is already slightly sweet, it has a pleasant taste even without sugar.
It is also excellent as a hot drink and as an ice cooler.
It won't be bitter even if you let it stand for a long time.
