As promised, I’m going to tell you a recipe for a wonderful rooibos-cream. It’s rich and delicate, but rather heavy thanks to the whipped cream. It is, therefore, better suited as a dessert after a light meal.

This cream will taste good made with any rooibos, so you can choose any flavour you like.

It also gives you the possibility to vary it over and over again. I personally prefer the “warmer” flavours, for example, orange or cinnamon. You can also change the aroma depending on the season. In Summer, lemon or Capetown (passion fruit) is more refreshing. Of course, you can also mix the aromas.

Here is the recipe:
