With summer and the summer holidays nearly upon us, why not treat your kids (and yourself) to these healthy and colourful traffic light slushies?
Ingredients
For strawberry red
2 Tea4Kidz strawberry flavoured Rooibos teabags
½ cup strawberry juice
2 cups of strawberries, frozen
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup strawberry yogurt
For mango or peach orange
2 Tea4Kidz peach and apricot flavoured Rooibos teabags

2 cups assorted green fruits, frozen (honeydew melon, green apples, cucumber)

Method
Make up each colour individually.
Heat the juice in the microwave. Make a very strong tea by steeping the two teabags in the hot juice. Remove teabags and allow tea to cool completely.
Place frozen fruit, honey, and tea in a blender or food processor.
Blend thoroughly, adding extra water if needed.
Add the slushies layer by layer to create a traffic light.
