Spread evenly over the dough then roll it up lengthways to form a log. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll into 8 even-sized roundels and pack into the tin, facing upwards. Brush gently with extra milk and bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 mins before removing from the tin.\n\nWhilst the buns cool, steep the Tick Tock Vanilla Rooibos teabags in 100ml of freshly boiled water, for 5 minutes. Remove the teabags and leave the tea to cool. Mix the icing sugar with 20ml of Tick Tock Tea. If it’s too thin, add more icing sugar, if it’s too thick, add more Tick Tock tea. Drizzle icing over the warm rolls.
