Vanilla Rooibos (tea) Latte

I used to drink the Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte from Starbucks all the time, but have cut back on my Starbucks since it's so expensive. Well, I stumbled upon a Rooibos Tea in Kroger the other day and remembered how good that latte had been.... so I decided to see if I could recreate it!

Rooibos is an African red tea that is caffeine-free and doesn't have that bitterness that a lot of teas have.  And here's a clue- it's pronounced 'ROY-bus'... NOT 'ROO-E-Bus' as I discovered the first time I tried to order this at Starbucks...

So, all you have to do is plop one of the tea bags into about a half a mug of milk and microwave for a minute. Then fill the mug the rest of the way with water and microwave again for 30 seconds or so until desired temperature.
I added about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the same amount of honey depending on the size of my mug and stirred!

That easy, and I love it! I haven't had the Starbucks version in a while, but I think I'm pretty close.  Regardless, it is delicious and I've had 2 cups so far today.
