How to Make Apple Tea

Here’s a simple recipe to make your own apple tea at home.

 

Ingredients:

- 4 cups of water

- 1 apple (any kind, but red apples make the tea pink)

- 1 stick of cinnamon

- 1 piece of ginger (about the size of your thumb)

- 1 star anise (optional for a special flavor)

- Honey or sugar (if you like it sweeter)

- Lemon juice (optional)

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apple: Wash the apple and cut it into small pieces. You can leave the skin on because it adds color and flavor.
  2. Boil the Water: In a large pot or apple tea kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  3. Add Ingredients: Add the apple pieces, cinnamon stick, ginger, and star anise to the boiling water.
  4. Simmer: Turn down the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Steep: After simmering, turn off the heat and let the tea sit for another 10 minutes to get more flavor.
  6. Strain and Serve: Use a strainer to pour the tea into cups. Add honey or sugar to make it sweet, and a little lemon juice if you like.
