Ingredients
- 1 litre freshly-brewed rooibos tea
- 3-4 tbsp honey (or more to taste, or alternative sweetener)
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- zest of 1 clementine or orange
- juice of 4 clementines or oranges
- 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh root ginger, roughly chopped
- small handful fresh mint leaves
Freezing time: 4-6 hours
Instructions
1. Add all of the ingredients to a large glass jug or pot and allow to steep for at least 10 minutes, preferably longer.
2. Strain the liquid through a sieve into a shallow container that has a lid. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, remove from the freezer and break up any ice crystals that have formed using a fork. Return to the freezer and repeat every 1-2 hours one or two more times, depending on the preferred size of your ice crystals (larger or finer).
