This iced tea makes me happy. The star is organic rooibos, a caffeine-free tea that is filled with goodness. I love the deep rich color of this refreshing iced rooibos tea. It looks good, and it tastes good.
The berries and hibiscus give this iced tea a tangy, fruity punch. The rose petals provide floral undertones. It’s a delicious blend with or without a touch of honey.
I use dried raspberries in this iced tea simply because they are my favorite berry. You can substitute them or make a mix of your own favorite dried berries like strawberries, cherries, or elderberries. They are all good.
This iced tea contains all the wellness properties that organic rooibos, hibiscus, berries and rose petals are known for such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and calming benefits.
