## Summary

Cape farmhouse rooibos brewed with orange peel and cinnamon, then finished with honey and a splash of warm milk. Caffeine-free, and about a calorie a cup.

## Description

This is rooibos the way it's drunk in the Cederberg farmhouses, where the bush actually grows: a deep red, caffeine-free cup brewed hard with fresh orange peel and a little cinnamon, then softened with honey and a splash of warm milk. It turns plain rooibos into something comforting enough to drink from breakfast right through the evening.
