This year, try out this mocktail recipe featuring rooibos tea and pomegranate for a sweet and tart combination that will help you wind down. This mocktail is light and sweet with a hint of mint from one of our favorite chamomile mint rooibos tea blends, making it perfect for spring or summertime sipping. It's easy enough to make at home but fancy enough to serve at your next party!
Rooibos is a mild, sweet, and naturally sweet-tasting tea. It has a smooth, slightly nutty flavor that makes it a great base for both hot and cold tea beverages. Rooibos blends well with a variety of fruits, especially citrus and apple flavors. This is a great way to use up those odds and ends you never know what to do with.
This blend combines the uplifting, clean taste of our chamomile mint rooibos tea with the bright and tart flavors of pomegranate and freshness from tangy lime juice. The addition of pomegranate and the spritz of sparkling water gives it a special touch of sweet-tart flavor and a taste profile unlike any black, green, or red tea. You'll want to make a big batch of this one since it will be gone before you know it!
