Apple & Orange Spiced Tea

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Tea is more than hot water: it's an extraction process. Here, the tannic depth of black tea is balanced by the sweetness of fresh fruits. Under the effect of hot water, fruit cell walls open and transfer their flavour to the drink, creating a natural, vitamin-rich 'punch' without alcohol.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Kettle or saucepan
  • Tea strainer
  • Heatproof jug

Instructions

1 ✓

Boil the water with the cinnamon and cloves, then cook for 2-3 minutes.

Tip: Hard spices need higher heat and more time to release flavour than tea leaves.
2 ✓

Remove from heat, put in the tea bags, steep for exactly 3-5 minutes, then remove them.

Tip: After 3 minutes caffeine is released; after 5 minutes bitter tannins start to leach out.
3 ✓

Meanwhile, cut the apple and orange (with peel) into thin slices.

Tip: Essential oils (limonene) in the orange peel provide the real citrus scent.
4 ✓

Throw the fruits into the hot tea, add the honey, and let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Tip: The hot liquid 'blanches' the fruit, opening its pores (osmosis), mixing the flavours.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it bitter?
You steeped the tea bag too long (tannins released) or the white pith of the citrus peel got in.
What tea should I use?
Good quality Earl Grey or Ceylon tea is the best base.
