Caramel Apple Rooibos

How fitting to start my tea swap journey with one blended by the swapper herself – SimplyJenW ! First of all, thank you for all the rooibos! It’s going to be an adventure.

I picked up some treats from a new European bakery in my neighbourhood, Kave Haz. We got some Gypsy cake and French Cream. Yum.

Of course, to make this an extra special treat, I made lattes with foamed milk and vanilla syrup! Mm I tried it on its own first and it’s the perfect blend and sweet caramel and apple. I’m totally into apple teas this fall, but rooibos is my favorite. I love rooibos lattes too, so I digress – thank you SJW, you expert tea blender you :)

I’m really enjoying this tea. Next time I will have it without the syrup because it’s quite decadent and sweet just on it’s own.

I feel so lucky to have so much of this in my cupboard to share with friends and keep by my side all fall.

My evening cuppa. My little taste of that rooibos blend from the store that starts with T reminded me that I had tasty rooibos in my own cupboard! I had completely forgotten how much I liked this blend. It is a great warm you up tea. Ther are hints of apple and cinnamon, and the caramel flavor just kind of intensifies the rooibos base. It resteeps well, too. Yum!
