The RootedRelief "Cederberg Sunrise"

This drink is a 100% natural, caffeine-free alternative to traditional energy drinks, with Power Bush for that clean vitality lift.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tsp reditea® Instant Rooibos Original (for that high-density antioxidant base)
  • 1 can Power Bush® Rooibos Vitality Drink (for the B & C vitamin energy boost)
  • 200ml Cold Sparkling Water (or still water if you prefer)
  • 50ml Fresh Orange Juice (for a bit of natural sweetness and "sunrise" color)
  • A squeeze of Fresh Lime
  • Garnish: Fresh mint leaves and a few slices of ginger or a wheel of orange.
  • Lots of ice!

Preparation (Zero-Waste, Zero-Wait):

  1. The Base: In a tall glass, add your reditea® and Power Bush®.
  2. The Dissolve: Stir until the powders are fully dissolved. (Because they are premium extracts, they won't leave any grit!)
  3. The Mix: Pour in the orange juice and the squeeze of lime.
  4. The Sparkle: Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes, then pour over the sparkling water.
  5. The Finish: Give it a gentle stir to marble the colors. Slap the mint leaves between your hands (this releases the oils) and tuck them into the top with your fruit slices.
