How Does Tetley Redbush Vanilla Compare to:

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Tetley Redbush Vanilla, 40 Tea Bags 100g

• Water temperature: 100°C, rooibos can take a rolling boil without bitterness, unlike true tea.
• Measure: One bag per 250ml of just boiled water (slightly larger pour than for true tea because the leaves are less concentrated).
• Steep: 5 to 7 minutes; rooibos cannot be over brewed, so leave it as long as you like for a stronger cup.
• Service: Drink black for the cleanest flavour, or add a small splash of milk and half a teaspoon of brown sugar for the traditional South African farmhouse cup.
• Iced version: Brew 3 bags strong, cool, dilute with cold water and a slice of orange.
• Caffeine note: Naturally caffeine free, so safe at any hour and for any age.
• Best with: rusks (the South African dunking biscuit), milk tart, dark chocolate digestives, or after dinner as a calming cup.
