Ingredients

  • 4 cups apple peels from about 6-8 medium apples, washed thoroughly
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 stick cinnamon optional
  • 2 tablespoons honey or to taste

Equipment

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple peels and water. Stir gently to ensure the peels are submerged.
  2. Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan, if using, for extra flavor.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not boil vigorously.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the tea steep for 15 minutes, allowing the apple flavors to infuse into the water.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or teapot, discarding the peels and cinnamon stick.
  6. Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm, adjusting the amount to your desired sweetness.
  7. Serve the apple peel tea warm in mugs, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing drink.
