Ingredients:
- 1 cup oats or maize meal (your choice based on preference)
- 2 cups strong Freshpak Rooibos tea (brewed with 2 teabags)
- ½ cup milk (optional, for added creaminess)

How To Make Creamy Rooibos & Porridge
- Start by brewing two Freshpak Rooibos teabags in two cups of boiling water and allow them to steep for at least five minutes to extract a strong, rich flavour.
- In a medium saucepan, combine your oats or maize meal with the freshly brewed
Rooibos tea and a pinch of salt. - Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring regularly, until the porridge thickens to a creamy consistency — this should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Once thickened, stir in the milk (if using), Ellis Brown creamer, cinnamon, and your preferred sweetener such as honey or brown sugar.
- Mix well until everything is smooth and heated through.
- Serve warm, topped with your favourite additions like sliced banana, chopped
nuts, raisins, or a drizzle of condensed milk for extra indulgence.
