Congestion / cough / flu Tea

This tea works better for us than most over-the-counter medicines, and it tastes really nice. We often prepare it just for the enjoyment.

Rooibos Chai Mix

This is a caffeine-free chai version, based on the Chai recipe Sarah posted last year - which in turn is a recipe she inherited from Pia, so we're going full circle here. We used to buy a rooibos chai mix at a local Indian supermarket, but this version is much better (if I say so myself), and will definitely become a staple on our tea shelf.

Prep time: 6 minutes Cook time: 5 minutes
