Ingredients:
- 3 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 apple, sliced
- 4 tea bags
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather your apple pie spice, honey, and a fresh apple. Slice the apple into thin slices, ready to infuse your tea with delicious apple flavor.
-
Boil Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the apple pie spice, honey, and sliced apple. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Allow the flavors to meld together as the mixture simmers, filling your kitchen with irresistible aromas.
-
Infuse Tea: While the apple mixture is simmering, prepare your tea bags. Place a tea bag in each teacup, ready to be infused with the warm, spiced apple goodness.
-
Pour Mixture: Once the apple mixture has simmered and infused, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 2 minutes to cool slightly. Then, carefully pour the hot (but not boiling) apple mixture over the tea bags in each teacup.
-
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother tea without apple pieces, you can use a coffee filter to strain the juice as you pour it into the teacups. This step is optional but can provide a cleaner texture to your beverage.
-
Steep Tea: Allow the tea bags to steep in the hot apple mixture for about 2 minutes, or until the desired strength is reached. This allows the flavors to fully develop, creating a rich and aromatic tea.
-
Remove Tea Bags: Once the tea has steeped to your liking, carefully remove the tea bags from each cup. Be cautious as the tea may still be hot.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Apple Spice Tea alongside a delicious carrot bar cake or your favorite sweet treat. Sip, savor, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this homemade beverage with friends and family.
Tips:
- Adjust sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the amount of honey to make the tea sweeter or less sweet.
- Experiment with spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices or add-ons, such as cinnamon sticks or cloves, to customize the flavor of your tea.
- Make it a cold brew: For a refreshing twist, allow the apple mixture to cool completely before pouring it over ice and adding the tea bags. Serve chilled for a refreshing summertime beverage.
