Iced Lemon and Rooibos Pitcher (Twinings Revitalise)
An iced jug of Twinings Revitalise green rooibos, tart with hibiscus and sharpened with fresh lemon. Caffeine free.
Green Rooibos makes an excellent iced tea: it holds its flavour well chilled, and the hibiscus in Twinings Revitalise gives the jug a tart edge and a pretty pink tint. A squeeze of lemon sharpens it up, and there is no caffeine.
