Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Apple (medium, preferably sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 4 cups Water
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
- 1 piece Chamomile tea bag
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
Wash the apple thoroughly, then core and slice it into thin wedges. No need to peel it as the skin adds extra flavor and nutrients.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, apple slices, cinnamon stick, and sliced ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once it starts simmering, lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chamomile tea bag. Cover the pan and let it steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the chamomile tea bag, cinnamon stick, and ginger slices using a slotted spoon or strainer. You can leave the apple slices in the tea if desired, or remove them for a clearer tea.
Taste the tea and, if desired, stir in honey or maple syrup for sweetness and/or lemon juice for brightness.
Pour the tea into mugs and serve warm. Garnish with a fresh apple slice or a twist of lemon peel for presentation, if desired. Relax and enjoy!
