Vegetarian Rooibos Tea
Warm, earthy, and just a little spicy from fresh ginger, this soothing cup is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat. Rooibos brews into a gorgeous deep reddish-amber that looks as inviting as it tastes, and the natural sweetness of the tea pairs beautifully with a drizzle of honey. A few thin slices of fresh ginger steeped right in the water give it a gentle warmth that feels almost medicinal in the best possible way. A splash of milk stirred in at the end makes it creamy and rounded, though it's equally lovely without. Every ingredient here is straightforward and plant-based, so there's nothing to second-guess — just a clean, comforting brew from start to finish. It comes together in one small saucepan with almost no effort, making it the perfect wind-down ritual for any time of day.
