Method

  1. Pre heat the oven to 180ºC.
  2. Lightly grease and line 1 x large or 2 x medium size loaf tins.
  3. Place the flour, salt, digestive bran, oat bran, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix together.
  4. Place the Rooibos tea bags and water in a medium size pot and boil for 5 minutes. Simmer for another 5 minutes allowing the water to extract all the Rooibos flavors to make a strong Rooibos infusion.

  6. Add buttermilk, sugar and eggs to the Rooibos infused water and mix well with a whisk.

  8. Spoon into prepared tins. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, ±45 minutes.
  9. Remove from tins and cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Slice into rusks and place on a baking tray.
  11. Heat oven to 100°C and dry rusks out for 6 – 8 hours.
