Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Rooibos tea bags
- 1 liter Water
- 250 milliliters Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 50 milliliters Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Orange slices (for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 1 liter of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized pot or kettle.
Add 4 rooibos tea bags to the water and let them steep for 5 minutes. For a stronger flavor, you can steep them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and let the brewed tea cool to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by transferring the tea to a refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once the tea is cool, combine it with 250 milliliters of freshly squeezed orange juice and 50 milliliters of freshly squeezed lemon juice in a large pitcher or mixing bowl.
Stir in 3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup until fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Lightly crush 8 of the fresh mint leaves to release their aroma and flavor. Add the crushed mint leaves to the pitcher, reserving 2 mint leaves for garnish.
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the pitcher and stir gently to mix all the flavors together.
Serve the rooibos juice in individual glasses, garnishing each glass with an orange slice, a lemon slice, and a fresh mint leaf for a vibrant presentation.
