👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Heat the water to a rolling boil. This typically takes about 5-6 minutes on the stovetop, reaching 100°C (212°F).
⏱️ 5-6 minutes - 2
Once the water is boiling, remove the kettle or pot from the heat. Immediately add the loose leaf rooibos tea to the hot water. If using tea bags, place them in the teapot or mugs.
⏱️ 30 seconds - 3
Cover the teapot or mugs and let the tea steep for 5 to 10 minutes. A shorter steeping time will result in a lighter flavor, while a longer time will yield a stronger, more robust brew. Observe the water gradually turning a rich reddish-brown color.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes - 4
Strain the tea leaves from the liquid using a fine-mesh sieve, or remove the tea bags. Discard the leaves or bags.
⏱️ 30 seconds - 5
Pour the hot rooibos tea into cups. Serve immediately. Offer honey and milk (or milk alternative) on the side for guests to add according to their preference.
