Named Rooibos, red leaf teas are called such for the red tinge to the leaves. Many varieties include Chocolate Chai, Peach Rooibos, Rooibos Bourbon and Green Rooibos.

Chocolate Chai is a red leaf tea that offers a tangy ginger flavor with cardamom citrus added in.

This dessert tea is great for after dinner or in the morning to start your day, and the antioxidants that chocolate adds to the natural health benefits of red leaf tea makes this an immune system booster.

Green Rooibos red leaf tea is considered such even though the fermentation ends after the cutting of the leaf. An earthy flavor and being caffeine free makes this drink great any time of day. Not only does the rooibos offer a full body and great aroma, but this variation is considered quite enjoyable hot or cold.

On stronger-tasting fish such as salmon, he applies a barbecue rub (bought or homemade) consisting of paprika, chile powder, sugar, salt and pepper. I brush the top of the salmon with barbecue sauce, and it becomes a glaze, he adds. That trick makes salmon a much quicker, healthier alternative to grilled meat.
