Homemade fruit tea infusion

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Homemade fruit tea should not be confused with teabag varieties: this involves a decoction of real fruit, full of vitamins and natural aromas. This recipe uses the 'infusion' technique, where hot water slowly dissolves flavour compounds from the fruit cells without overcooking them.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large saucepan: For cooking.
  • Fine mesh sieve: For a clear drink.
  • Potato masher (optional): To press juice from the fruits.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the apple and orange and cut them into small cubes. Halve the berries.

Tip: The smaller you cut them, the larger the surface area in contact with the water, resulting in a more intense flavour. (Increasing surface area for dissolution).
2 ✓

Place the fruits and spices (cinnamon, cloves) in cold water, then bring to the boil.

Tip: If you start cooking in cold water, flavours begin to release as it heats up.
3 ✓

After boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: Too vigorous boiling evaporates volatile aromas. Gentle simmering preserves them.
4 ✓

Turn off the heat and lightly crush the fruits in the water using a potato masher or spoon.

Tip: This presses out valuable juices remaining in the fibres.
5 ✓

Strain the infusion. When it is just lukewarm (approx. 40°C), stir in the honey and lemon juice.

Tip: Valuable enzymes in honey and vitamin C in lemon break down above 40°C. (Heat sensitivity).

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen fruit?
Yes, absolutely! Freezing damages the cell walls of the fruit, so they release even more juice and flavour during cooking.
