How to Brew Caramelised Banana Pancakes Tea

Quick Answer

For a sweet morning cup, steep Caramelised Banana Pancakes Tea for 5 minutes in water just off the boil, then add a splash of oat or coconut milk for a latte-like treat.

Step-by-Step Brewing Guide

1. Heat Fresh Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about 30 seconds. Aim for around 200°F (93°C) – just off the boil – to avoid scalding the rooibos leaves. Using water that's too hot can make the tea taste flat, so let it rest briefly.
2. Measure the Tea: Use about 1 teaspoon (2-3 grams) of loose leaf tea per 8-ounce cup. Adjust to taste – more tea for a stronger brew, less for a lighter cup. Start with a standard measure and tweak next time based on your preference.
3. Steep for 5 Minutes: Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 5 minutes. Rooibos is forgiving and won't become bitter, but longer steeps will intensify the flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, try 4 minutes; for a richer cup, go up to 6.
4. Strain and Serve: Strain the leaves and pour the tea into your favorite mug. Enjoy it plain or add a touch of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Don't leave the leaves in the cup – they'll keep steeping and change the flavor.
5. Make It a Latte: For a creamy latte, froth some oat or coconut milk and add it to the brewed tea. This blend is especially delicious this way. Use warm milk for a cozy, café-style drink.
