This is a great tea to have in the summer. I make it almost every other day. It quenches your thirst more than water and becomes very cold in the fridge.
No need to add any sweetener, this tea is very mild and my kids love it.
We also drink it hot at meals or whenever.
I usually boil water in a big pot and add barley to fill the surface, turn off the heat, then cover. I drain barley once it cools down.

Rooibos, I love this tea. I can drink it hot or cold and without any sweetener.
I find if I am having any kind of discomfort with digestion or stress, this tea will help. My kids like it too. Mild and not bitter.

I made this tea for a cold beverage to have the next day.
It is bitter without an added sweetener so I added some honey and I do agree that the steep time should be less than 3min.
I do prefer the taste of it cold rather than hot.
