HOT INFUSED TEA

Use 1 tea bag for approx. 250-300 ml for an infusion and brew the tea bag with boiling water in a cup or teapot. Allow the rooibos tea mixture to steep for 5-10 minutes, depending on the desired intensity of taste.

Depending on your taste preferences, you can add a little milk, honey or sugar or a fresh lemon slice to the infused rooibos tea mixture.

The best drinking temperature is 60° C, but rooibos tea is always a delicious drink when chilled or drunk as an iced tea.

COLD INFUSED TEA

Put 2 tea bags and approx. 250-300 ml of cold water in a jug, water bottle or travel mug and let the tea bags steep for at least 10 minutes. You can also leave the tea bags in the tea water until drinking.

For a stronger overnight infusion, leave the tea bags in the infusion and/or add additional tea bags.

Store refrigerated and consume within 24 hours.

Optional serving suggestions:

Add fruit juice or honey/sugar if you prefer a sweeter iced tea. Garnish with mint and/or a fresh lemon wedge.

What are the effects of licorice root?

Licorice root, as the name suggests, tastes sweet, even 50 times sweeter than cane sugar. The substance glycyrrhizin is responsible for this.

The thickened root juice produces liquorice - the black candy that is processed into lozenges, candies and snails.

The sweet brew was used as a remedy in ancient times, including for coughs.

Certain ingredients stimulate the bronchial mucosa to form more thin secretion. This makes it easier to cough up thick mucus, which is helpful when you have a cold.

Other active ingredients have anti-inflammatory effects that can have a positive effect on gastritis and reduce gastric acid formation.

Flavonoids and coumarins are also found. So far, researchers have discovered around 400 different ingredients.

What does licorice look like?
