Honeybush is an evergreen shrub that grows in southern Africa. It is similar to rooibos (which come from the same region), but in flavor it is lighter and sweeter without the woody aftertaste frequently associated with rooibos.
South Africans have been enjoying caffeine-free honeybush for over 300 years. Continued research into the health benefits of this amazing herb has increased demand for honeybush worldwide.
Research is ongoing, but preliminary findings indicate honeybush is a rich source of polyphenols and antioxidants which are reported to have anti-viral, anti-mutagenic (cancer-fighting), anti-fungal and anti-depressant properties. Phytoestrogens found in honeybush may help alleviate menopause-related symptoms and protect post-menopausal women against cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.*
Steep one tablespoon of honeybush in 12-16oz. of boiling water for 4-8 minutes. Add milk/cream and/or your choice of sweetener if desired.
Steep four tablespoons of honeybush in 16oz. of boiling water for 7-10 minutes. Sweeten if desired. Combine steeped tea with cool water to fill a 2-quart pitcher. Serve over ice.
My Sweet Honeybush,
Of all of the ingredients we blend with at Zoomdweebie’s (home to 52teas), you are my favorite base to work with.  You are light and sweet and refreshing.  Your caffeine-free infusions are exhilarating and delicious.
You have your own honey-like sweetness, but you’re not afraid to mingle with other delicious flavors.
We’ve created some amazing blends with you, my sweet honeybush, and now I feel it’s time we gave you a small pedestal of your own here on the Internet, here at MySweetHoneybush.com.
Yours Truly,
Frank
