Strawberry Rooibos Caffeine-Free
Agile Spirit by Muave Limited is a masterclass in balance. Rooibos provides a nutty, naturally sweet base that allows the dried strawberries to really sing when cold-brewed.
Instructions
- 1
Add 4 tablespoons of Agile Spirit loose leaf tea to your pitcher.
- 2
Pour in 1 litre of cold water. Rooibos is a very small "leaf" (it is actually a needle), so it provides a high surface area for a really intense infusion.
- 3
Wait 12-16 hours. The longer you wait, the more of the "woody-vanilla" notes of the rooibos will come out.
- 4
Strain well. You may need a fine mesh or a coffee filter because rooibos can have small particles.
- 5
Pour over ice and add fresh strawberries if you want that extra "pop" of color.
Tips
- •Rooibos is naturally mineral-rich and caffeine-free, making this a true hydration hero.
- •The "sweetness" in Agile Spirit is entirely from the fruit and tea, which is great for the sugar-conscious.
- •This is a tea that won't get bitter no matter how long you steep it—perfect for those who might forget their pitcher in the fridge.
Variations
- •Strawberry Cream: Add a splash of oat milk or cream for a "strawberries and cream" experience.
- •Berry Blast: Mix with a few frozen raspberries before steeping.
The Agile Spirit of Cold Brew
Rooibos, or \"Red Bush,\" is a South African herb that is naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins. Unlike traditional tea, it doesn't get astringent when steeped for a long time.
Muave Limited's Agile Spirit takes the warm, nutty foundation of rooibos and adds the bright acidity and sweetness of strawberry. Cold brewing creates a drink that is refreshing but also has a lingering, comforting depth—it's essentially a dessert in a glass, without the calories.
Flavour Profile
The first wave is pure strawberry—sweet, red, and jammy. The second wave is the rooibos itself, which brings a nutty, slightly vanilla-like finish. It's a very \"smooth\" drink that feels rich but stays clean.
Perfect Pairings
This is the ultimate refreshing late-night treat. It pairs excellently with dark chocolate, almond cookies, or even a simple piece of fruit.
