Ingredients:
For the Rooibos syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 2 Laager Pure Rooibos tea bags
- 2 cups sugar
For the fro-yo:
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2¼ cups full-fat coconut milk
- 2 Laager Pure Rooibos teabags
- 3 cups plain Greek-style yoghurt
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vodka (optional, keeps it creamy)
- ½ cup Rooibos syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- Juice of ½ a lemon
Method:
- Make the Rooibos syrup: combine water, teabags, and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer gently until the mixture reduces by about one-third and slightly thickens (8–10 minutes). Remove the teabags and let cool.
- For the fro-yo base, whisk corn starch with ¼ cup of coconut milk until smooth. Add the remaining coconut milk and bring just to a boil, whisking occasionally.
- Remove from heat, add the Rooibos teabags, cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the teabags.
- Stir in the yoghurt, vanilla, vodka (if using), ½ cup Rooibos syrup (adjust to taste), salt, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top.
- Freeze for 45 minutes, then stir vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals. Return to the freezer. Repeat this stirring every 30–45 minutes for the next 2–3 hours, then freeze until solid.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Serve drizzled with more Rooibos syrup if desired.
