Learn how to brew Bird & Blend's Baby Egg Tea for a creamy, indulgent cup. This caffeine-free rooibos blend is perfect with or without milk.
Quick Answer
For a creamy cup of Baby Egg Tea, steep one heaped teaspoon of loose leaf blend in freshly boiled water for 5 minutes, then add warm milk to taste.
Why Baby Egg Tea Works So Well with Milk
Baby Egg Tea is a rooibos-based blend that mimics the flavor of a creamy fondant Easter egg. Because rooibos is naturally sweet and smooth, it pairs beautifully with milk without becoming bitter or astringent. The chocolate-y notes come through clearly, making it a satisfying caffeine-free treat any time of day.
Choosing Your Milk: Dairy or Plant-Based
This blend is vegan-friendly, so it works with any milk you prefer. Oat milk adds extra creaminess, while almond milk keeps it lighter. If using dairy milk, whole milk will give the richest texture. Avoid skim milk if you want a truly creamy mouthfeel.
How to Brew Baby Egg Tea for a Creamy Cup
- Step 1: Boil Fresh Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil. Rooibos tea requires water at 212°F (100°C) to extract its full flavor. Do not re-boil water, as it reduces oxygen and can make the tea taste flat. Always start with cold, fresh water for the best flavor.
- Step 2: Measure the Tea: Add one heaped teaspoon (about 2-3 grams) of Baby Egg Tea loose leaf blend per 8 oz (240 ml) cup. If you prefer a stronger cup, use a rounded teaspoon, but avoid overpacking the infuser. Too much tea can make the brew overly strong and mask the creamy notes.
- Step 3: Steep for 5 Minutes: Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves and cover your cup or teapot. Steep for exactly 5 minutes. Rooibos does not become bitter with longer steeping, but the flavor may become too intense. Set a timer to avoid guesswork. Covering the vessel keeps the heat in and ensures even extraction.
- Step 4: Remove the Leaves: Strain the tea into your favorite mug using a fine-mesh strainer or remove the infuser. Rooibos leaves are small, so a standard tea ball may let some through. A paper filter or fine strainer gives the clearest cup. Leaving the leaves in will continue to steep and may overpower the flavor.
- Step 5: Add Warm Milk to Taste: Warm your milk separately (do not boil) and add it slowly, stirring to combine. Start with 1-2 tablespoons per cup and adjust to your preference. Cold milk will lower the temperature too quickly and dull the flavor. Warm milk blends more smoothly and keeps the tea at the perfect drinking temperature.
