Rooibos crumpets: A yummy twist on a classic breakfast treat
Perfectly light and fluffy, these crumpets pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings, from fresh berries and honey to jam or butter.
Crumpets, those delightful and spongy griddle cakes that are the epitome of a perfect light breakfast or indulgent afternoon tea, have long been a cherished favourite. However, a unique twist on this traditional treat has emerged, combining the comforting warmth of rooibos tea with the light and airy texture of crumpets. Recipe compliments of Joekels Tea.
