Apple Cinnamon Tea

The usual tea we drink at home is tea leaves brewed in water and then mixed with milk and sugar as per one's taste. After having liven in abroad for few years, i got to know tea primary means just tea leaves brewed in hot or cold water. Not necessarily sugar and milk to be added, which is in fact the healthiest version tea. Today we shall see the recipe of one such tea.

The color of this tea is so pleasing to our eyes and it's just a beautiful color! Don't you agree? This is a two ingredient recipe, which can be modified to add honey based on one's preference.

Ingredients
1 medium sized apple, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 inch cinnamon stick
250 ml water

How to make apple cinnamon tea:

1. Heat water in a pan.

2. Add cinnamon stick

3. Add cut apple pieces.

4. Let it boil for 10 minutes.

5. As the apple and cinnamon flavors steeps into the water, it changes the color to pinkish red. Switch off the flame. Strain cooked apples and cinnamon stick.

7. Enjoy the hot sip of apple cinnamon tea. You can add honey if you want. But usually the sweetness from the apple would suffice for the tea. If your apples are little bit sour, then you can consider adding honey to lessen the sour taste.
