Dragonfly Teas - Summer Drinks

Summer Drinks

With a 100 year family history of not only growing, but drinking plenty of rooibos in the sunny climes of South Africa, we have some favourite thirst-quenching and hydrating recipes that are all naturally caffeine-free. Also, unlike iced black teas, rooibos iced teas won’t go bitter and will last in the fridge as happy as penguins for up to 3 days.

Rooibos Iced Teas - simple classics for summer

All our rooibos teas make delightful iced drinks, but especially delicious are Tick Tock Original, Rooibos Breakfast, Rooibos Mint, Rooibos Vanilla, Rooibos Camomile and Cape Malay Rooibos Chai.

4 or 5 Rooibos teabags or sachets
2 litres water
Honey, sugar or lemon to taste

Boil 1/2 litre of water, add the bags, honey, sugar or lemon. Leave for 5 minutes and then add the rest of the water and a big glass of crushed ice.

Rooibos Sundowner - sit back and unwind

5 Rooibos Evening Blend or Camomile teabags
1 litre water

Slices of lemon, apple or orange to garnish

Steep the teabags in freshly boiled water for approximately 20 minutes. Chill, add apple juice and garnish.

Rooibos Chai Smoothie - blitz ‘til frothy

4 Cape Malay Rooibos Chai teabags
450ml water
2 scoops vanilla ice cream or 125g plain yoghurt
1 banana (optional, but delicious)

Steep the teabags in freshly boiled water for approximately 20 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and blitz until frothy.

Tick Tock Green Mint Julep - rum and rooibos refresher

50ml good quality rum
1 tsp honey
