Rooibos Tea This is a very gentle tea with NO caffeine naturally. It is from a 'red bush'. Combines well with milk and sweeteners. Lindsey's Wedding ~ I want 6 gallons for 120 servings.
Make 2 gallons, reuse leaves with 1 gallon water = 3 gal tea. Flavor in the cambro, pour into gallon jars. Do this twice using 8 oz tea leaves. This will still probably be quite strong enough to have some ice added when serving in the dispensers. THIS TEA IS VERY SMALL NEEDLES WHICH GO THROUGH MOST TEA SIEVES. USE A CLOTH TEA BAG WHEN POSSIBLE.
-You can use the tea leaves twice with half as much water as the first time. ~Basic steeping for hot tea: 1/2 oz tea 4 c water at 208* (just off the boil) steep 15 minutes or more (it never gets bitter). ~Cider spiced hot tea: add .2 oz (5 g) whole cider spices to the 1 qt of tea. (above) ~For Iced Tea: 1 oz tea (in a good sized cloth tea bag) 1 gallon jar fill with 208* water steep all day ~Sweeten lightly, 1 gallon: 1/2 oz homemade stevia liquid AND 1/2 oz honey AND a little fresh lemon OR 1 oz maple syrup -The honey must go in while the tea is warm or room temp to stir in well. Maple can be added anytime. -The tea really improves with several hours to sit with the sweetener in it. It just combines in a really good way.
