Ingredients:
- 2 English Breakfast teabags or 2 tbsp loose tea
- 1 medium apple (a sweet variety like Fuji or Pink Lady)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cups of water
- 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- A pinch of ground nutmeg (if you're feeling extra spicy)
Instructions:
-
Boil the Water: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
-
Add Apple and Cinnamon: Once the water boils, add the apple slices and cinnamon stick (or ground cinnamon). Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the apples and cinnamon to infuse.
-
Brew the Tea: Add the black tea bags (or loose tea in an infuser) to the simmering mixture. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
-
Sweeten and Enhance: Remove the tea bags and the cinnamon stick. If you'd like a bit of sweetness, stir in honey or maple syrup. For a touch of tartness, add a splash of lemon juice.
-
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smooth tea, strain out the apple slices before serving, but they can also be left in for a more rustic, fruity presentation.
-
Serve: Pour the tea into mugs, and sprinkle a tiny bit of nutmeg on top for a finishing touch.
Enjoy this warm, spiced tea as a perfect complement to chilly days!
