Rooibos Tea is a naturally caffeine-free tea made from the Rooibos shrub, Aspalathus linearis, which grows exclusively on the Cedarberg Mountains of South africa. Needing no irrigation nor fertilization, the plants are harvested by cutting the green, needle-like leaves which are then left to dry in the hot African sun. They turn a beautiful mahogany red color, thus giving the name REDBUSH. Annique uses only the top fresh young tips for the finest quality tea.

HISTORY OF ROOIBOS TEA AND ANNIQUE PRODUCTS

For centuries, Rooibos tea was consumed by the Khoisan tribe of South Africa, who used it as a herbal medicine. In the 18th century, botanists reported its use as a beverage. Generations of South Africans started to enjoy its distinctive sweet taste, as yet unaware of its natural powers and the wide spectrum of its applications.

In 1968, Annique Theron stumbled across the plant's natural healting properties and effectiveness to soothe her baby, who was a poor sleeper and suffered from cholic. In 1997, the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, awarded her a gold medal for the discovery of the anti-allergic qualities of Rooibos team naming her "Woman Discoverer of the Year".

Extensive clinical trials continue, as researchers study the protective and essential health-giving properties of Rooibos Tea. Annique Rooibos Products have been manufacuring for forty years, and are recognized worldwide for their supberb quality of Rooibos Tea and unique herbal blends using the tea.

AMBROSIA FRUIT SKEWERS

Ingredient for six

2 firm ripe peaches

1 firm ripe pear

3 kiwi fruit

1/2 pineapple

2 bananas

3 apricots

12 cherries, (canned or fresh)

For the Marinade

1/2 cup strong Rooibos tea

1/2 cup semi-sweet wine

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons brandy or any fruit-based liqueur

2 cloves

1 small cinnamon stick

3/4 teaspoon almond essence

2 teaspoons vanilla essence

To make the marinade, heat the tea, wine, honey, brandy (or liqueur) cloves and cinnamon until the honey has melted completely. Leave to cool and then add the almond and vanilla essence.

Peel the peaches, pear, kiwi fruit, pineapple and bananas, and cut into 1 inch pieces of even size. Halve and stone the apricots, and stone the cherries if necessary.

Thread the fruit in an attractive color sequence on to 6 wood skewers which have been soaked in water , dividing the fruit equally among the skewers. Arrange the skewers in a shallow dish and pour over the strained marinade. Cover and chill for 3 hours, turning from time to time.

Cut 6 pieces of heavy-duty aluminium foil large enough for each to contain one skewer completely. Place the skewers in the centres of the foil pieces and spoon over marinade. Seal the foil well.

Grill in a clamp grid until heated through (about 15 minutes) turning once. If you do not have a clamp grid, carefully turn the foil packages with tongs, making sure not to pierce them.

To serve, open the foil packets over individual plates so that none of the marinade sauce is lost. Sprinkle with grated coconut or flaked almonds and serve with cream or ice cream.

"Allergies: An amazing discovery"

ALLERGIES, THE BANE OF MOTHERHOOD AND SUFFERING BABIES

The book, ALLERGIES : an amazing discovery, was written by dr Annique
Theron, an expert in feeding and the general care of babies. She is the original discoverer of the therapeutic value of a well-known herbal tea, which is found only in South Africa.

She is renowned worldwide for this remarkable discovery. In fact, she was honored with a Gold Medal as the Best Woman Inventor of 1997 in Geneva, Switzerland.
This discovery was stumbled upon by dr Theron in 1968 in a way which may only be described as miraculous. It is now many years later and thanks to the Internet, dr Ther

on's amazing discovery and her documented case histories are being heralded all over the world. The life-saving benefits of the discovery have become too important to be kept under wraps in the land of its origin. She didn't leave a stone unturned to spread the word and lend credibility to the benefits and uniqueness of the discovery, the herbal tea, and its undisputed therapeutic value.

Through exhaustive research and personal involvement with hundreds of babies and their mothers, she verified her original findings and finally knew she had stumbled onto something rare and extraordinary.

She went on a mission through South Africa to find babies with similar problems to that of her own baby, who suffered from allergies for milk and a host of other foods. She searched for someone with enough courage to join her crusade - and found no one. Then she was left to her own devices. It was only flint-hard dedication that pulled her through the years of battling with the babies and their feeding problems. She had to do it in order to prove an astounding point : Rooibos, a natural herbal tea, found only in South Africa, has the propensity toward alleviating allergies.

Searching high and low she could not find any reference framework. She had to start from scratch and she would have to dedicate her life to bringing her findings to mothers with similar problems with their babies as that of her own. She knew it would be a challenge. As she discovered later, a prophet is not honored in his own land.

Due to her discovery and her unrelenting efforts to promote the benefits of Rooibos, she had been instrumental in adding value & new life to an impoverished and struggling industry. At the time it was limping under the burden of surpluses and control due to the supply exceeding the demand by far. It was a true Cinderella industry.

However, that was not the end of the story. Dr Theron came to the realization she had to take up the cudgels on behalf of a much wider circle of babies and their mothers. She had to go the extra mile in order to bring the safe, natural and soothing benefits of this truly remarkable herbal tea to the entire world.

This meant she had to take the road less-traveled by. The journey was a lonely one yet crowded with babies, who suffered from a plethora of conditions like colic, insomnia, constant crying, vomiting, eczema, etc., caused mostly by allergies and food-intolerances.
