Description
A bright and warming infusion of apple, ginger, and cinnamon that’s perfect for cozy moments.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups water (filtered)
- 2 medium apples, thinly sliced (keep skins on for color and aroma)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, thinly sliced or lightly crushed (about a 1-inch knob)
- 1 cinnamon stick (or 1 tsp ground cinnamon)
- 2–3 tbsp honey or to taste (room-temperature honey for easy dissolving)
- 1–2 dried jujubes or 2 slices lemon (for bright acidity)
- Thin apple slices and a cinnamon stick, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: rinse apples, core and slice thinly; bruise the ginger with the flat of a knife to release oils.
- Warm the pot: bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add apples, ginger, and cinnamon to the simmering water. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture steep gently for 12–15 minutes.
- Sweeten: remove from heat. Stir in honey to taste while the liquid is warm so it dissolves completely.
- Strain: pour the tea into a teapot or heatproof pitcher using a fine-mesh sieve. Press gently on the solids to capture concentrated flavor, then discard solids.
- Serve hot in pre-warmed cups or allow to cool briefly for a warm-room-temperature sip.
Notes
Use firm, aromatic apples for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness after straining to maintain control over the final balance.
