Rooibos Limeade Recipes

Steps:

• Add 4 cups water to a medium saucepan. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add rooibos tea, black tea, sugar, star anise and cloves; cover and let steep, 10 minutes. Strain tea, pressing on tea leaves and spices to extract as much liquid as possible, then discarding solids. Refrigerate tea until chilled, at least 1 hour.

• Fill a pint glass with ice. Add 3/4 cup tea mixture and top with about 2½ tablespoons condensed milk mixture. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, ginger, 8 thyme sprigs, and quartered lime in a cocktail shaker. Muddle until lime quarters release their juices and ginger and thyme begin to break down. Add lime juice, stirring until sugar has completely dissolved. Strain mixture into a pitcher partially filled with ice, or divide evenly among 4 ice-filled glasses. Top with tea, stirring to evenly combine. Garnish with thyme sprigs, ginger slices, and lime wheels; serve.
