Rooibos Spice Rub

The mellow sweet flavour of rooibos tea makes for a wonderful rub. The flavour of the coriander pairs up nicely with the rooibos and the chilli flakes add a nice touch of heat.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon “Red Bush” loose leaf rooibos tea
1 tablespoon organic cane sugar
1 tablespoon Vancouver Island smoked salt
½ tablespoon red pepper flakes
½ tablespoon ground coriander

Directions

Combine all of the rub ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. If you are using immediately, then have at her. Alternatively, you can make this up ahead of time and store in an air tight container in a dark place.
Select any cut or roast of chicken or pork, oil the meat lightly and then liberally sprinkle on the rub mixture.
After spicing, roast in the oven or toaster oven until the meat is cooked through. Take care not to burn the rub.
