ROOIBOS CHAI
Rooibos leaves, which are grown in South Africa, resemble tea leaves but come from a different plant and don't have any tannins. They have recently made an appearance on store shelves here. You can substitute black tea in this recipe; add it during the last 5 minutes of simmering.

Steps:
- To make the chai syrup:.
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cover with a lid. Simmer on medium-low for 1/2 hour to 1 hour or until the mixture reduces to a syrup(mine was not real syrupy, I simmered 1 hour).

- Simply mix 1 teaspoon to up to 1 tablespoon of the chai syrup into hot milk(I use almond milk) and serve. Or mix in a teaspoon to a tablespoon of the syrup into hot water for a great chai tea.
