I think it already stopped trending, but that chinese apple tea that people were making for a bit is now a part of me. it’s good as fuck and we should keep making it
wait I’m not online enough, recipe? apple tea recipe when convenient, if possible? wisdom to be shared with the people?
apple tea recipe now!!! since it’s an herbal tea, it’s infinitely customizable, but the basic recipe is just:
- an apple (washed, cored, cut into pieces, unpeeled)
- a handful of jujubes (dried, pitted)
- small spoonful goji berries (also dried)
put the chopped apple and the jujubes into a pot with a few cups of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for ~15 minutes. add the goji berries for the last few minutes. that is pretty much it!
the tea has a nice golden color, and the flavor is really nice. you can strain the fruit out and drink the tea by itself, or scoop up the fruit and eat that too. (I like to eat the fruit)
I also add a few slices of ginger, and sometimes a cinnamon stick. you can add a spoonful of brown sugar to the mixture, but the apple and jujube do a good job of sweetening the tea all by themselves. anyway it’s good!! I recommend it!
oooh saving this
(note that the jujubes in this recipe appear to be a type of dates, not the gummy candy that “jujubes” usually means where i’m from… hmm let’s see if I can find some of those)
