Hot Apple Spice Tea

Every time the holidays arrive or when it is too cold outside, it is the best time to make hot teas. Drinking hot tea is so comforting especially during the autumn and winter season. Adding fruit to hot teas gives it more flavor. However, dry fruit tends to have too much sugar if you are trying to control your sugar levels. This hot tea recipe does not have that much sugar because of the natural fresh fruit.

You can add apples, pineapples, or any other fruit. Yet, if you are watching your sugar levels, it is best to stick to one or two fruits for making your hot teas. Nevertheless, this tea only uses a few ingredients and has a delightful scent. It is the perfect tea for relaxing and watching a good movie on television. Here is the recipe for making this hot spiced apple tea.

Ingredients:

1 Red Apple

1 Cinnamon Stick

Cinnamon Powder

1 Pineapple Tea Bag

2 Chamomile Tea Bags

Sugar (Optional)

Hot Water

First, add one cinnamon stick to one pot of water. Second, add the tea bags to the pot. Third, wash and peel one red apple. Remove the core of the apple and slice the apple. Chop the apple slices into cubes. 

After that add the cubed apple slices inside the pot with the tea bags and cinnamon. Wait for the water to boil or until the water turns to a darkish red color. Last, remove the tea bags. Then, immediately serve the tea. This recipe is for one person. But this recipe can be adjusted by adding more apples and cinnamon sticks when you are serving this hot tea for more than one person. Have a safe Thanksgiving. Below are more resources about apples, cinnamon, and tea.
