Honeybush Milk Tart

This recipe was found in the most unlikely of places, on the box of my Numi herbal tea. When I saw it, I was intrigued by what it might taste like, since i like the flavor of their honeybush tea. Honeybush is a plant that grows mainly in South Africa, and it's leaves are harvested to make the tea. It tastes similar to rooibos, but is slightly sweeter. If you haven't tried Honeybush, you may want to try it first by brewing a cup before making the tart to see if you like the flavor. Or be adventurous and make it with your favorite tea!

The tart is sweet and creamy, and perfect with the graham cracker crust. Delicious if you're up for trying something new!
