I'll have to give it a bash.... Do they sell it in Tesco or anywhere like that, or will I have to venture further afield?

Tesco will do.
Remember, Honey (or tad bit of sugar), Lemon slice, no milk :D
 
I find I can drink it with or without milk. Milk doesn't really change the flavour for me, just the consistency. It really is better with honey, rather than sugar, if you're going to make it sweeter.

I had a big mug of it again today, first for a while. I really enjoyed it. I bought 2 boxes of it a while ago from Tesco too, for 99p each! Bargain.
 
I would advise against getting the Redbush variety (made by tetley i think) as I don't find the taste as pleasant as, say, a Twinnings or Clipper version.
 
I used to be really into this health food stuff and used to drink green tea and roobois.

Then i read an article dispelling the antioxident myth :rolleyes:

Rooibos is totally different to normal green tea. For a start it is reddy/orange when brewed and it doesn't really taste of tea at all.

Best way to describe it is it smells kind of like germolene but tastes totally different to how it smells. It's very nice, try it you might like it :)

What's the worst that can happen?

you start calling it tea when it's not ;)
 
drinking dragonfly rooibos vanilla tea , 40 bags for 2 quid in asda.

gorgeous tea, no milk or sugar but occasionally tea spoon of honey.

splendid
 
I drink it but purely because it has no caffiene in it and I like the taste. I don't buy into all this detox bull**** that women harp on about.

Every time someone tells me "No, I can't have normal tea. I'm on a detox" or somethign along similar lines I want to punch them. They're the same sort of people who look down on those who don't drive a Toyota Prius or a crap shoebox of a car. Pretentious idiots with **** all better to do than spend their entire lives trying to stay one step ahead of everyone in the pretention and smug stakes. ****ers.

Toyota Prius' are terrible for the environment anyway.

All I know about that one, is that someone at the model club made a pot of it (28 cups) by mistake. Absolutely, totally and utterly foul, and everyone agreed too :o

couldn't you let this geriatric thread die? it's highlighted a rather akward typo of mine :eek:
 
Just finished my morning cuppa of Rooibus Redbush, delicious.
All the detox stuff is utter nonsense. Your body "detoxes" perfectly well by itself.
AFAIK, no purveyor of detox junk has ever said exactly what toxins their junk is supposed to be getting rid of.
