Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh apples (such as Fuji or Gala), washed, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or jujube syrup (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and core the apples, then cut them into thin slices to release more flavor during brewing. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly for maximum infusion.
  2. Boil Water and Add Ingredients: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the apple slices, ginger, and cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to a simmer to gently meld the flavors without burning the delicate fruit.
  3. Simmer Slowly: Let the mixture simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the apples to soften and the ginger’s spicy warmth to infuse the water completely.
  4. Sweeten the Tea: Remove from heat and stir in honey or your preferred sweetener while the tea is still warm. Adjust sweetness to taste so it balances the natural tartness.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into your favorite mugs, discarding the solids. Enjoy it hot for comfort or cool it down for a refreshing chilled drink.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples and ginger for brighter, cleaner flavors.
  • Adjust ginger intensity by starting with less and adding more to suit your taste.
  • Simmer gently to preserve delicate fruit flavors and avoid bitterness.
  • Add the sweetener after the tea cools slightly to retain its natural enzymes and nutrients.
  • Experiment with different apple varieties to find your preferred sweetness and tartness balance.
