Apple Ginger Rooibos Tea

I fell in love with rooibos tea during my first trip to South Africa. Rooibos has a natural sweetness to it that makes it irresistible to me. This rooibos recipe below is from a hotel in Cape Town called Cape Grace. The combination of sweet apple mixed with ginger and the earthy flavor of rooibos makes a tasty, almost dessert-like tea. In the summer, I love to sip it on ice. And in the cooler months, the slight heat from the ginger makes this rooibos tea recipe the perfect winter warm-up.

This rooibos tea recipe is called, ‘Refreshingly, Cape Grace’ as it is the first sip you take when you walk into the Cape Grace hotel after a long flight to get to Cape Town.  Enjoy!
