Apple Cinnamon Tea (Iced or Hot)
- 4 cups water
- 4 black tea bags or loose leaf tea
- 1 large apple (thinly sliced)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 inch fresh ginger (grated)
- 1/4 cup honey or to taste
- ice cubes (for the iced version)
- Additional apple slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
- Brew the Tea: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, remove from heat, add the tea bags, and let steep for about 5 minutes.
- Add Flavors: After steeping, remove the tea bags. Add the thinly sliced apple, cinnamon sticks, and grated ginger to the hot tea and let it simmer on low heat. Allow the mixture to steep for an additional 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Pour into Cups & Sweeten: Pour into cups and stir in honey while the tea is still warm. Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness level.
- Enjoy: Serve the cozy Apple Cinnamon Tea while hot!
- For the iced version, brew the tea with only 2 cups of water to make it extra strong and then let it cool to room temperature. Pour over the ice and garnish with fresh apple slices and a pinch of ground cinnamon!
