2. Heat water to 206°F (just below boiling)
3. Add 1 teaspoon of honeybush leaves to your favorite steeper
4. Pour 8 oz of hot water over the leaves
5. Steep for 5-7 minutes to develop the full honeyed sweetness
6. Enjoy as is or experiment with adding citrus for a bright twist

Recipe Ideas:
- Honeybush Iced Tea: Brew double-strength, cool completely, then pour over ice with a slice of orange for a refreshing summer beverage with no added sugar.
- Bee's Bourbon Cocktail: Use chilled strong-brewed tea as a mixer with bourbon, a splash of lemon juice, and a touch of honey for a sophisticated adult beverage.
- Honeybush Poached Pears: Use strong-brewed tea as the poaching liquid for pears, adding warm spices like cinnamon and star anise for an elegant dessert.
- Morning Honeybush Smoothie: Add cooled tea to your morning fruit smoothie for a naturally sweet flavor boost without added sugars.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- What makes honeybush different from rooibos? While both are caffeine-free and come from South Africa, honeybush offers a naturally sweeter profile with distinct honey notes, while rooibos has a more earthy, nutty character. Many find honeybush smoother and less tannic than its rooibos cousin.
- Does this tea contain actual honey? No, the honey-like sweetness comes naturally from the honeybush plant itself. The name refers to both the honey-like scent of its flowers and the sweet flavor profile of the brewed tea.
- Can I mix this tea with other beverages? Absolutely! Bee's Knees pairs beautifully with citrus-flavored spirits, bourbon, and fruit juices. It also makes an excellent base for tea-infused cocktails and mocktails.
- How should I store my tea? For maximum freshness and flavor retention, store in the original glass jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
