Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium fresh apple
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cloves
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces sliced lemon
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the apple thoroughly and cut it into thin slices. No need to peel the apple, but be sure to remove the seeds.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, add the apple slices, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the water. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Add the black tea leaves and let the mixture continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Strain the tea into a teapot or heatproof jug, discarding the apple slices, cinnamon stick, cloves, and tea leaves.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice while the tea is still hot, ensuring the honey dissolves completely.
Pour the apple tea into cups, and garnish each cup with a slice of lemon and a fresh mint leaf for added freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy the comforting taste of this fragrant apple tea.
