Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the rooibos in a large jar or pitcher. Pour the cold water over and stir gently.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate for 8–10 hours. Rooibos cold brews into a deep amber, naturally sweet drink.

  3. 3

    Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pitcher. Stir in vanilla extract and honey if using.

  4. 4

    Serve over ice with an orange slice. The orange brightens the rooibos's warm, earthy sweetness.

Pro tip

Rooibos is one of the most forgiving teas for cold brewing — it is impossible to over-steep and never turns bitter. A split vanilla bean added to the jar during steeping gives a more intense vanilla flavour than extract. This is also excellent with a splash of oat milk or coconut milk stirred in just before serving.
