Ever heard of Red Tea, known also as Rooibos tea (pronounced like “roy-bos”)? It means Red Bush in Afrikaan. Is a natually caffeine free herbal tea. But its different from all those fruity (read acidy) herbal teas. It comes in different flavors (my favorite is Good Cape Hope Vanilla by The Republic of Tea.) It tastes richer than other herbal tea so you don’t feel quite as cheated when you can’t have a cup of coffee. Drink it English style wiht a little milk or cream, yum!
I know, its still not coffee. But, seriously, give it a try if you need a substitute warm morning drink. Yum!
Rooibos also makes a great ice tea. Add some raw sugar or honey and a bit of fresh mint. Perfect for summer
