Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 fresh apples (preferably Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala), washed, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2–3 cinnamon sticks
  • 4–5 whole cloves
  • 6 cups water
  • Honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Optional Variations

  • Fresh ginger slices (about 1-inch piece, sliced) for a zesty twist
  • 2–3 chamomile or rooibos tea bags for herbal infusion
  • 1 splash bourbon (for adults only)
  • Substitute 6 cups apple cider instead of water for stronger apple flavor
  • 1 drop vanilla extract to enhance sweetness and spice flavors

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and core the apples, then slice them thinly to allow maximum flavor extraction. Gather your cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and optional lemon juice and sweeteners.
  2. Simmer the Spices and Apples: In a pot, combine the apple slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes to develop the rich, spiced aroma.
  3. Sweeten and Add Lemon: After simmering, remove the mixture from heat. Stir in honey or maple syrup to taste, and squeeze in fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  4. Strain and Serve: Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the spices and apple bits. Pour the warm, fragrant tea into mugs and enjoy immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality apples and spices for the best flavor.
  • Simmer on low heat to unlock richer, balanced flavors.
  • Add sweeteners after simmering to control sweetness perfectly.
  • Adjust spice levels (cloves and cinnamon) to your preference.
  • Serve tea hot or warm to enjoy its full comforting essence.
