Ingredients
- Water
- Apple slices
- Fresh ginger, sliced
- Honey (optional)
- Cinnamon stick (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: water, apple slices, fresh ginger, honey, and a cinnamon stick if desired.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in 2 cups of water and place it on the stove over medium heat.
- While the water is heating, wash and slice your apples into thin wedges. You can use any variety of apple you prefer, such as Granny Smith for tartness or Fuji for sweetness.
- Peel and slice a piece of fresh ginger. Aim for about 1-2 inches, depending on how strong you want the ginger flavor to be.
- Once the water is simmering, add the apple slices and sliced ginger to the saucepan. If you are using a cinnamon stick, add it to the pot as well.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together and create a soothing tea.
- After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer to pour the tea into cups, separating the liquid from the solid ingredients.
- If you like your tea sweetened, add honey to taste while the tea is still warm, stirring until it dissolves completely.
- Serve the tea warm, and enjoy its soothing properties. You can also let it cool and serve it over ice for a refreshing cold beverage.
Tips
- • Choose fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor - Granny Smith for tartness or Fuji for sweetness • Use fresh ginger root instead of powdered for maximum health benefits • Slice ginger and apples thinly to help release more flavor and nutrients • Don't over-boil the tea; a gentle simmer helps preserve the ingredients' healing properties • Add a cinnamon stick for extra warmth and metabolism-boosting benefits • Use raw honey for additional antibacterial and soothing properties • Experiment with the ginger quantity to find your perfect spice level • For maximum health benefits, try to drink the tea while it's warm
