Ingredients:<br />

1 litre water<br />

3 Laager Rooibos teabags<br />

1kg butternut, halved and seeds removed<br />

1 clove garlic, sliced<br />

1 cinnamon stick<br />

Olive Oil<br />

1 medium onion, finely sliced (100g)<br />

Salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

500 ml cream<br />

Directions:<br />

Pour the water into a medium-sized saucepan, add the<br />

Rooibos teabags, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5<br />

minutes, then remove from the heat and leave the Rooibos<br />

teabags to infuse for 20 minutes. Remove the teabags.<br />

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Place the halved butternut<br />

on a roasting pan, sprinkle with the garlic and a drizzle of<br />

olive oil, and roast until soft. Heat a little olive oil in a large<br />

saucepan and sauté the onion until soft and translucent.<br />

Add the roasted butternut flesh to the onion, and cook<br />

for approximately 5 minutes. Add the Rooibos stock and<br />

simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cream<br />

and simmer for 10 minutes (do not allow to boil).<br />

Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth and<br />

lump-free.<br />

Season to taste and mix well.<br />
