Mango Rooibos Iced Tea
- Details
Rooibos is an herbal tea from South Africa. It has delicate hints of caramel and woody flavors. Once steeped it turns a gorgeous rusty-red color. We added aromatic allspice as the secret ingredient in this brew, having notes of nutmeg, cloves and black pepper. For a touch of warmth we added cinnamon and sweet mango puree to brighten your glass. Delicious, thirst quenching, and good for you; sipping this tea is a great way to keep cool on a hot summer day!
