Ingredients:

4 cups apple juice
920g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients
- 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.
2. Heat the 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.
3. Cool the Mixture
- 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.
4. Chill the Tea
- Transfer the strained mixture to a pitcher.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
5. Serve
- 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.
6. Enjoy!
- 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.

With this simple yet delicious recipe for iced apple and mint tea, you can bring a touch of elegance and refreshing taste to any occasion. Experiment with the ingredients to find the perfect balance for your palate, and enjoy a cool, invigorating drink that is both satisfying and easy to make.
