This Rooibos spiced chai mulled cider is worth trying this winter!
Masala chai (meaning spiced tea) is originally from India and is a tea blended to bring optimal balance to the body. Rooibos is a wonderful alternative to a black tea, as it contains no caffeine and doesn’t become bitter when brewed traditionally. It makes the perfect base for a hot mulled cider.
