How to Make Rooibos Iced Tea
- In a large pot, combine 4 Rooibos tea bags (or Honeybush for a unique flavor), 1 cup of sugar (or to taste), 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, and 1/2 cup thinly sliced lemon.
- Pour 8 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea bags and other ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
- Allow the tea to steep for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to fully meld. Longer is better if your patience permits.
- Remove the tea bags, lemon slices, and mint leaves once the tea is cool.
- If using sugar, stir until it dissolves completely. If you prefer a sweeter tea, add more sugar to your liking now.
- Refrigerate the tea for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled for the best flavor.
- Serve over ice and garnish with extra lemon slices and/or fresh mint sprigs.
