How To Make Apple-Spice Tisane?
- Prepare the Apple-Spice Mixture: Add the apple peels, cloves, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest, and a drizzle of honey (if using) to a medium saucepan with 475ml (2 cups) of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
- Steep the Tisane: Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
- Strain and Reheat: Strain the tisane into a small saucepan and heat it back up over medium heat until warmed through.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the tisane and add honey for sweetness and/or lemon juice for extra brightness, adjusting to your preference.
- Serve Hot: Pour the hot tisane into cups and serve immediately, enjoying it warm.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Apple Peels: Get the best taste by using firm, fresh apple peels. Old or bruised peels may give a less pleasant flavor.
- Steep for 15 Minutes: Let the tisane steep for 15 minutes to let the spices and apple peels fully infuse. It’s an important step for the taste.
- Add Honey in Small Amounts: If using honey, add it little by little and taste so you can control the sweetness. It keeps the flavor balanced.
- Adjust Lemon Juice Gradually: Add lemon juice after reheating for a brighter taste, but start with a small amount to avoid making it too sour.
- Serve Hot for Full Flavor: This drink tastes best when it’s hot, which brings out the aroma and warmth. Reheat carefully to keep the flavors.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
