Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 2 cups of water
  • Tea bag of your choice (black, green, or herbal)

Fruit & Spice

  • 1 medium apple (preferably red or green), cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

Additions

  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Begin by pouring 2 cups of water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Add Ingredients: Once boiling, add the sliced apple, cinnamon stick, and ginger slices into the saucepan.
  3. Simmer Flavors: Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse into the water.
  4. Add Nutmeg (Optional): Add a pinch of ground nutmeg for additional warmth and aroma, if desired.
  5. Cool Slightly: After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly to safe-handling temperature.
  6. Strain Liquid: Strain the liquid into a teapot or heatproof serving vessel, discarding the apple slices, cinnamon stick, and ginger pieces.
  7. Steep Tea: Add the tea bag of your choice to the strained liquid and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
  8. Sweeten Tea (Optional): Remove the tea bag and sweeten the tea with honey, stirring well to dissolve.
  9. Add Lemon Juice: Add lemon juice to the tea for a touch of brightness and to balance the flavors.
  10. Serve: Pour the tea hot into teacups and enjoy the warm, aromatic blend.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples for the best aromatic infusion.
  • Cinnamon stick can be substituted with ground cinnamon but add it after simmering to avoid bitterness.
  • Adjust honey and lemon juice to your preferred level of sweetness and acidity.
  • This tea is naturally caffeine-containing or caffeine-free depending on tea bag choice.
  • Keep an eye on simmering to avoid boiling off too much water.
