Rooibos Tea Special

This is an herbal tea and has no caffeine.

Stevia is an herbal sweetener--it is safe for diabetics.
Stevia does not contain calories, carbohydrates, glycemic index, or chemicals.

Use any flavor mint you desire or mix them!

1 Tbsp bulk Rooibos tea (red African tea)
10 Cups water, boiled
10 5-inch stems mint (with about 8 leaves on each stem)
1/2 tsp liquid Stevia extract

Put bulk tea in holder. Bring the water to boil in pot. Steep the tea in pot of water. Turn off burner. Let steep for about 3 hours. Meanwhile, tie mint stems together with kitchen string. If you do not have kitchen string, just use the stems in as-is. Put in pot of tea. Let steep for about 2 hours. Strain into pitcher, add Stevia and stir. Serve in glasses of ice with a mint sprig for fun!

(I served this to our CSA Members at one of our produce pick ups in 2006, and they loved it so much they were requesting a recipe.)
