Instructions:
- Measure out 4 cups of apple juice and pour it into a medium saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the apple juice.
- Peel and grate 1 tablespoon (approximately 16g) of fresh ginger root. Add the grated ginger to the apple juice mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer for an additional 5 minutes. This will help to infuse the ginger flavor into the apple juice.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature. This can take approximately 20-30 minutes.
- Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the grated ginger.
- Transfer the strained mixture to a pitcher.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the chilled apple and ginger tea over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for an added refreshing touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Iced Apple and Mint Tea.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger root for the best flavor. Peel and finely slice or grate it to release more of the aromatic oils.
- Adjust the sugar to your taste or substitute it with honey or a sweetener of your choice for a healthier option.
- Fresh mint leaves can be muddled slightly to release more of their essential oils, enhancing the minty flavor in your tea.
- For an extra fruity twist, consider adding slices of fresh apple or a splash of lemon juice before serving.
- Chill the tea thoroughly in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight for the best taste.
