Honeybush Red Tea

Honeybush Red Tea is also known as berg tea or mountain tea.  It is so named because the flowers smell of honey. The taste of honeybush tea is similar to that of rooibos but a little sweeter.  Botanical name: Cyclopia intermedia

Use 1 heaping TSP (3 g) of tea leaves per 6 oz of water.  Bring water just to rolling boil (190 -212 degrees F).  Steep for 3-5 minutes.  For a stronger brew, use more tea rather than more time, as steeping too long can result in a bitter tea.
