Moringa is packed full of anti-oxidants and has many health
benefits to offer you and your family. It is hailed the new superfood. However, unlike rooibos tea, moringa is not very palateable. Here are some ideas to make a fruity
iced tea to disguise the taste and offer you some liquid refreshment, without
any added sugar!
Make the tea infusion first and then add apple juice, fresh
mint and ice. Alternatively add some fruit pulp as per the suggestions below. To
make a jug of ice tea mix the following:
1 piece fresh ginger
Rind of ½ orange or lemon
2 stalks lemon grass peeled and smashed
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups boiling water
Mix together and allow to steep and cool slightly for about
15 minutes. Add 2 moringa or rooibos tea bags or 2T moringa powder. Steep for
an hour, strain and pour into a jug with ice. Garnish with fresh fruit.
BERRY SPLASH
Blend
half-cup of strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Add fresh basil leaves and moringa tea.

SPICED PEACHES
To
get this warm and sweet blend, take some fresh peaches and blend them together with vanilla extract. Garnish
with a cinnamon stick.
TROPICAL STORM
Blend
3 pineapple rings, a
piece of ginger and add the inside of one passion fruit for a tropical flavour combination. Add
some mint for a splash
of green.
