Ingredients
For the Apple Cinnamon Tea
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Puree
- Wash and cut one apple into small pieces. Puree the apple pieces using a blender or food processor until smooth.
Brew the Tea
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add the pureed apple, ground cinnamon, and black tea to the boiling water.
Simmer and Strain
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the tea has steeped to your liking. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 5 minutes. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, discarding the solids.
Sweeten and Chill
- Stir in the lemon juice and honey (or maple syrup) to taste. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly chilled.
Serve
- Pour the chilled apple cinnamon iced tea into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with apple wedges, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Apple Cinnamon Iced Tea:
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, use a cinnamon stick instead of ground cinnamon. Add it to the simmering tea and remove before straining.
- Experiment with different types of apples to find your favorite flavor profile. Granny Smith apples provide a tartness that balances the sweetness, while Honeycrisp adds a sweeter note.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your liking. Start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
- For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving. You can also add a star anise for added warmth.
