How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place the rooibos tea bags or loose leaves

    Place the rooibos tea bags or loose leaves in a mug and pour 120ml (1/2 cup) of boiling water over them. Let steep for 5-7 minutes to create a strong tea concentrate.

    7 min

  2. Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave

    While the tea is steeping, heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming, but not boiling. Use a milk frother to create a thick foam.

  3. Remove the tea bags or strain out the loose leaves

    Remove the tea bags or strain out the loose leaves. Stir in the honey while the tea is still hot.

  4. Pour the frothed milk

    Pour the frothed milk over the tea concentrate, holding back the foam with a spoon initially, then topping the drink with the remaining foam. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use high-quality loose-leaf rooibos tea. If you have an espresso machine, you can make a 'red espresso' by using finely ground rooibos in the portafilter.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

You can brew the tea concentrate in advance and store it in the fridge.

Store & enjoy

Best consumed immediately after preparation to maintain the milk foam. Reheat gently on the stovetop; frothing will need to be redone.
