Turkish apple tea is a fragrant drink with a spicy taste. It is made based on apples and spices, which makes it rich and warming.
List of ingredients:
-
A handful of dried or dehydrated apples;
-
A cinnamon stick;
-
Two to three black peppercorns;
-
Two to three cloves;
-
Zest of one orange or lemon;
-
Ginger and mint to taste.
In cold water, add cinnamon, pepper, cloves, and zest, then bring to a boil over low heat. After that, reduce the heat, add finely chopped ginger and apples, and bring the mixture to a boil again.
Next, cover the drink with a lid and let it simmer on the lowest heat for about five minutes. This allows the ingredients to release their flavor and aroma without excessive bitterness.
Add mint to the prepared tea, gently stir, and immediately pour into cups through a sieve. The drink is served hot to preserve its rich aroma.
