Cold Rooibos Drinks
Cool teas for hot times
Chill out, cool down and don’t forget there’s nothing more refreshing than a tall, cold glass of Tick Tock iced rooibos tea when the temperature rises. And, as you know by now, we’ve had more than enough time – over 100 years - to perfect and refine the odd serving suggestion or two.
Half a dozen reasons for rooting for Tick Tock Rooibos
- Unlike iced tea made with traditional black and green teas, rooibos is never bitter.
- Will last in the fridge for 3 days.
- Brews comfortably in warm water so cools more quickly.
- Is caffeine free.
- Couldn’t be quicker or easier to make.
- And it does your skin good too!
