Apple Ginger Morning Tea

Apple juice gives ginger tea a softer, familiar sweetness, and fresh ginger adds a small kick that keeps the cup interesting. It’s closer to a light apple-and-ginger tea than a full-strength warm cider. Stir the juice into the brewed tea, then let the ginger sit briefly. Taste before extending that rest; a little extra time can change the cup from apple-led to decidedly gingery.

Ingredients

• 1 tea bag Ginger herbal tea
• 6 oz Hot water
• 2 oz Apple juice
• 2 slice Fresh ginger

Make it

1. Steep the tea in hot water for the time on its packet, then remove the bag.
2. Let the tea cool. Press or mash any soft fruit and stir in the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour over ice. Strain if you prefer a smoother drink.

Benefits

Ginger tea · caffeine-free with apple juice and ginger

Choose pure ginger tea for this apple juice and ginger cup: its warming ginger aroma comes without the caffeine found in black tea.

A different side of ginger

There is a peppery warmth from the measured ginger in the ginger tea and apple juice mixture, giving that ingredient a place without drowning out the other flavors.
