Apple Spiced Tea

With the weather getting colder here in the Netherlands, I have more need for warm drinks. Preferably with spices in it, so you get an extra warm feeling inside. For that time of year Apple Spiced Tea is perfect. Officially it’s not a tea, since there are no tea leaves involved. But it’s easier to call it that and it does give a tea feeling. When it gets colder outside in the Fall, I just want to wrap my hands around a warm mug with tea in it, this Apple Spice Tea is perfect for that moment.

You’ll make this tea with apple juice, cinnamon sticks, star anise and ginger. All warming ingredients which add lots of flavor. Heat it all up together and you have a perfect fall drink. The recipe is from Simone’s Kitchen, a Dutch food blog.

When looking for a completely different hot beverage, try this Blue Latte. When looking for a juice prepare a Melon-Coconut Juice and if you want a smoothie perfect for the fall season than look no further than the Healthy Sinterklaas Smoothie.

Review

Made it just as the instructions asked for, I only left out one ingredient and used less of the spices. That are the cloves, I was under the impression I still had them. Well I didn’t look good enough in my kitchen cabinets, because I was out of them.
