Fall Weather Honey Apple Tea - Tea Blend of the Month

Apples are everywhere this time of year and I have been working on several apple recipes to share on instagram (@backyardpatch43) when I found this item I shared on an old website back in 2011. With some updates, this makes a great tea to enjoy the flavor of apples.

Honey Apple Tea 

• 4 black tea bags (or 4 tsp. loose black tea)
  
  
  
• 1 tsp dried chamomile (optional)
• 1 tsp dried lemon balm
• ½ tsp dried sage
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 cups unsweetened apple juice
• 3 cups boiling water
• lemon slices

In a two quart pot, brew tea bags and dried herbs with boiling water.  Steep 2 to 5 minutes.  Remove bags/tea infuser or strain if brewed loose.  Add honey and apple juice.  Stir well.  Serve warm with a slice of apple or a cinnamon stick or pour over ice.  Makes 4 servings.
