Nutritional Benefits
Not only is this tea a delicious indulgence, but it’s also packed with health benefits. Raspberries are rich in ellagic acid, a potent antioxidant that supports overall health. Moreover, Rooibos itself is a nutritional powerhouse. A 200 ml (about 7 oz) cup of brewed Rooibos contains:
- Iron: Essential for oxygen transport in the blood.
- Potassium and Calcium: Important for strong bones and teeth.
- Copper and Zinc: Vital for healthy skin and growth.
- Magnesium and Fluoride: Beneficial for dental health.
- Manganese and Sodium: Necessary for maintaining fluid balance.
Brewing Your Tea
To enjoy this delightful Rooibos, steep it in hot water for about five minutes. For a refreshing iced version, brew a strong concentrate and pour it over ice. Add a few fresh raspberries or a mint sprig for an elegant touch.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Add milk & sugar to taste. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose rooibos into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the rooibos. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the brewed rooibos into your serving pitcher, straining the rooibos. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of the hot rooibos brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose rooibos into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the rooibos. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot rooibos herbal tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the rooibos. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of hot rooibos since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
