Ingredients:

-250 mL (1 cup) water + more to warm teapot

-7 mL (1 ½ tsp) rooibos tea or 1 tea sachet

Instructions: 

1. If using an electric kettle with temperature setting, set it to 208°F. Boil a little more water than needed so that it can be used to warm up the teapot. Filtered water is best.

2. Pour hot water into a teapot, halfway, and swirl it around a bit. Discard the water. Warming up the teapot is an extra step that all tea professionals take the time to do, so that when the tea steeps, the water temperature won't drop drastically.

3. Put rooibos tea into the teapot and add hot water. Cover teapot and steep for 5 minutes. Strain rooibos solids and pour hot tea into a teacup. Rooibos bits can escape the strainer so if you want less rooibos solids in your tea, strain it again, using a fine mesh strainer.
