- 4 cups Water
- 1 medium Apple (sliced)
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 4 Cloves
- 1 Star anise
- 2 bags Black tea bag or loose black tea
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Add the sliced apple, cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the spices and apple to infuse into the water.
Add the black tea bags (or loose black tea in a tea infuser) to the pan and let steep for 2-3 minutes. Adjust steeping time based on your preferred tea strength.
Remove the tea bags (or tea infuser) from the pan and strain the tea to remove the spices and apple slices, if desired.
