Rooibos Citrus & Ginger Homemade Granola

SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS

• Dried orange slices of one large orange

• ½ cup (65g) icing sugar, sifted

• 1 cup (50g) coconut flakes

• 1 cup (95g) Jungle oats

• 1 cup (125g) oat flour or rice flour

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ cup (50g) sugar

• 2 Laager Citrus & Ginger-flavoured Green Rooibos teabags

• ¼ cup boiling water

• ⅓ cup (75g) butter or coconut oil, melted

• ¼ cup (50g) honey

• ¼ cup (20g) candied ginger or citrus peel

• ¾ cup (70 g) roughly chopped almonds

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 100°C (80 degrees fan-forced). For the dried oranges, slice the orange in half lengthways. Cut slices of about 5mm thick and place on a prepared baking tray. Generously dust with icing sugar and leave in the oven for 2-3 hours or until fully dried out (but not browned). Once done, remove and set aside.

2. Preheat your oven to 150°C (130 degrees fan-forced). Combine the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.

3. Break the teabags open and steep in boiling water for 5 minutes or until strong.

4. Combine the tea, butter (or coconut oil) and honey, stir into the dry ingredients until completely mixed through.

5. Press the granola mixture into a lined sheet tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, then flip over in one piece and bake for a further 20 minutes. Allow the granola to cool completely then break into chunks. Add the candied ginger or citrus peel, dried orange and almonds. Store in an airtight container.
