Apple Tea
Apple Tea is a delightful fall drink made with fresh crisp apples and black tea. This recipe is fairly simple to make and combines the best flavors of fall although it can be enjoyed all year round! Apple tea is refreshing, comforting, and healthful. This tea can be enjoyed hot or even iced.
Ingredients
- 1 Apple
- 1 Teaspoon Black Tea or 1 tea bag
- 1 1/4 Cup Water
- Honey or Sugar to taste optional
Instructions
- Start by coring and slicing the apple into large slices.
- Add water and apples to a saucepan and allow to simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes. The liquid in the pot will turn pink. Once the apples are cooked use a hand masher and mash down the apple.
- Let mixture cool enough to handle before straining out cooked apples.
- Strain out apple pulp with a fine strainer. You might need to strain for a second time to remove all the pulp.
- Return all the strained liquid to the pot and bring to a low boil.
- Turn off the heat and add in tea. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes.
- Strain out the tea.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Use quality, pure, filtered water for your tea.
- Use fresh ripe sweet apples.
- Add a bit of honey or sugar for a sweeter tea. Make it caffeine free by substituting black tea with rooibos tea.
- Avoid over-steeping your tea as it can cause the tea to become bitter.
