Step-by-Step Guide to Brewing Rooibos Chai
1. Boil Fresh Water
To get the most out of your Rooibos Chai, start by boiling fresh water. Use water that’s just off the boil, at about 95°C. Freshly boiled water helps the tea leaves and spices release their full, bold flavours.
2. Use One Tea Bag Per Cup
For a rich, flavourful brew, place one Good Earth Rooibos Chai Tea Bag in your favourite mug. Each tea bag is packed with the perfect amount of rooibos and chai spices, so one bag per cup (200ml of water) is just right.
3. Steep for 5-7 Minutes
To allow the spices to fully infuse, let your Rooibos Chai steep for 5-7 minutes. Rooibos is a bit more robust than some other herbal teas, so it benefits from a longer steeping time. The longer it steeps, the more the warm, spicy flavours will develop. If you prefer a stronger brew, leave the tea bag in a little longer.
4. Customise Your Cup
Rooibos Chai is delicious on its own, but it also pairs wonderfully with milk or a dairy-free alternative like oat or almond milk. If you want to sweeten things up a bit, add a touch of honey or sugar for a comforting, chai latte-style drink.
5. Sip and Savour
Once your tea is brewed to perfection, it’s time to enjoy! Whether you’re sipping it first thing in the morning or winding down in the evening, Rooibos Chai offers a rich, spiced flavour that’s both soothing and invigorating.
Why Rooibos Chai?
Rooibos Chai is the perfect blend of robust rooibos and fragrant chai spices. It’s naturally caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it any time of day without worrying about staying up late. Plus, its warming spices—like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves—make it a wonderful choice for those cold winter nights or cosy evenings in.
