Download PDFPlace two serving glasses in the freezer to chill.
Boil the still water, pour it over the rooibos tea bags in a heatproof jug or bowl, and steep for 10–15 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and pour the tea into a small saucepan. Add the sugar and 100ml orange juice, squeeze in the lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer until reduced by half, then remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Once cooled, add ice to a blender and blitz on high until you get a fine, snow-like texture.
Scoop the crushed ice into the chilled glasses, filling them halfway. Pour over the rooibos syrup, divide evenly and top with orange juice and sparkling water.
Slice the orange into 1cm half-moons, decorate each glass with a slice, and serve immediately.
