Turkish Apple Tea Recipes

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients except the honey into a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat & simmer for 15 minutes.
• Strain the hot tea into a teapot. Make sure to gently push on the apples to remove all the liquid.
• Sweeten with honey then pour into tea glasses.

Steps:

• 1. Place the apples, oranges, orange peel, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• 2. Reduce the heat to LOW and simmer until the apples are very soft, about 30 minutes.
• 3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a non-reactive bowl pushing gently with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Stir in the rose water. Set aside to cool briefly about 10 minutes.
• 4. Pour the juice again [through a fine mesh strainer] into the drinking glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint, orange zest and sweeten to taste. Makes about 3 (8 ounce) servings.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring water and allspice just to a boil; add tea bags. Remove from the heat; cover and steep for 3 minutes. Discard allspice and tea bags. Stir in apple juice and honey; heat through.
