Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Rooibos tea leaves (or 1 rooibos tea bag)
- 120 milliliters Water
- 180 milliliters Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 120 milliliters of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of rooibos tea leaves (or 1 rooibos tea bag). Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the tea to steep and release its flavors.
While the tea is simmering, gently heat 180 milliliters of milk in a separate saucepan over low heat until warm, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Strain the steeped rooibos tea (if using loose leaves) and pour it into your serving mug.
Add the warmed milk to the mug, stirring gently to combine with the rooibos tea.
If desired, sweeten with 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener, and stir well to dissolve.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch (0.25 teaspoon) of ground cinnamon on top for a fragrant garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth of Rooibos Milk.
