Description
Cozy boiled apple tea made by simmering fresh apples with cinnamon and ginger for a lightly sweet, low-calorie drink that supports digestion, hydration, and gentle weight loss.
Ingredients
1 medium apple, cored and thinly sliced, peel on
3 cups filtered water
1 cinnamon stick (or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
3 to 5 thin slices fresh ginger (optional)
1 tablespoon raw honey, to taste (added after boiling)
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, to taste
Instructions
1. Rinse the apple well, keep the peel on, core it, and slice into thin wedges.
2. Add 3 cups of filtered water to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
3. Stir in the apple slices, cinnamon stick, and ginger, then immediately reduce the heat to a soft simmer.
4. Simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the liquid turns golden and the apple aroma is rich.
5. Turn off the heat, strain the boiled apple tea into mugs, and let it cool slightly.
6. Stir in honey and lemon to taste, then serve the boiled apple tea warm.
Notes
Keep the apple peel on to capture more polyphenols and flavor in your boiled apple tea.
Add honey only after cooking so the heat does not damage its natural enzymes.
You can batch-prep boiled apple tea, refrigerate it for up to 2 days, and reheat gently before serving.
Try variations with cloves, dates, or green tea if you want different digestion or weight loss benefits.
Pair boiled apple tea with a light breakfast or afternoon snack to help curb sugary drink cravings.
