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)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring 120 milliliters of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Strain the steeped rooibos tea (if using loose leaves) and pour it into your serving mug.

Step 5

Add the warmed milk to the mug, stirring gently to combine with the rooibos tea.

Step 6

If desired, sweeten with 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener, and stir well to dissolve.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle a pinch (0.25 teaspoon) of ground cinnamon on top for a fragrant garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth of Rooibos Milk.
