The Standard Rooibos Chai Cup

teas.co.uk · 7 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 Good Earth Rooibos Chai tea bag
• 250ml water at a full rolling boil
• A generous splash of cold milk
• 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or sugar, to taste

Method

1. Boil fresh water fully; rooibos is fine with a rolling boil and the whole chai spices need the heat.
2. Put the bag in the mug and pour the boiling water over.
3. Steep 6 minutes; rooibos cannot over brew, so the long steep just deepens the spice without bitterness.
4. Press the bag against the side a few times and lift it out.
5. Stir in honey while hot so it dissolves; rooibos chai is meant to be sweetened the way a regular chai is.
6. Add a generous splash of cold milk after the bag is out, more than a builders mug; chai is meant to be milky.
