Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the apple thoroughly.
- Core the apple and slice it thinly. Set aside for later use.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of apple juice to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add the spearmint leaves to the saucepan.
- Allow the mint to steep in the apple juice for 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the mint flavor.
- After steeping, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Using a fine mesh sieve or strainer, strain out the mint leaves, pouring the liquid into a heatproof pitcher or container.
- Stir in the 1 tablespoon of lime juice into the apple mint mixture. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Let the tea cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once it’s cooled a bit, transfer the pitcher to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and to achieve a refreshing cold temperature.
- When ready to serve, add a few apple slices to each glass.
- Pour the chilled apple and mint iced tea over the apple slices, adding ice cubes if desired.
- Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of freshness.
- Your Apple and Mint Iced Tea is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately and savor the refreshing blend of apple, mint, and citrus flavors.
Tips:
- Use fresh spearmint for the best flavor. Dried mint can be used in a pinch, but fresh mint leaves will give the tea a more vibrant taste.
- Chill the apple juice before mixing for an extra cold and refreshing iced tea.
- Garnish the drink with a few slices of apple or a sprig of mint to enhance presentation and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste preference. If you like a more tangy flavor, feel free to add a bit more.
- For an added twist, consider muddling mint leaves at the bottom of your glass before adding the apple juice to release more minty flavor.
