Rooibos tea is steeped in hot water, then chilled with orange slices to make an iced drink. Naturally caffeine-free and dairy-free, it is a light option for late-night sipping.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Steep the tea

5 min

Steep the rooibos tea bags in boiling water for 5 minutes, then remove the bags.

2

Sweeten

2 min

If desired, add honey to the hot tea and stir.

3

Cool to room temperature

20 min

Let the tea sit for 20 minutes, until it reaches room temperature.

4

Chill in the refrigerator

15 min

Chill the tea in the refrigerator for 15 more minutes.

5

Serve with orange and ice

3 min

Divide the tea among glasses with orange slices and ice, then serve.

Reminder

Do not steep the tea for too long; rooibos can develop a slightly bitter taste with extended steeping. If adding honey, stir it in while the tea is still hot, since it will not dissolve well when cold.

Çayı 20 dakika oda sıcaklığında bekletmek yerine direkt buzdolabına koysam sorun olur mu, zamanım kısıtlı oluyor bazen? Portakal dilimleri suya güzel bir tatlılık kattı, hiç şeker eklemeden bile yeterince tatlıydı.

Direkt buzdolabına koymak da işe yarar, yalnızca soğuma biraz daha uzun sürer çünkü sıcak çay buzdolabının içini de ısıtır. Aceleniz varsa bu yöntem gayet pratik bir çözüm.
