Ever thought of rooibos as an aphrodisiac? Well now you can

Love your daily cup of rooibos tea? We’ve got great news for you!

According to the SA Rooibos Council, rooibos tea is exceptionally rich in antioxidants – which allow for the healthy functioning of vital blood vessels and capillaries necessary for optimal sexual function. Rooibos, which is caffeine-free as we all know, contains a staggering 50% more antioxidants than green tea (who would have thought!), ranking it right up there with other aphrodisiacs like red wine and oysters.

We’ve created a list of Food24’s most loved rooibos recipes for you to pin ahead of Valentine’s Day next week…
