Ingredients

  • 2 apples, diced into large cubes I used tart granny smith
  • 5 cloves
  • 3 cinnamon sticks my favorite is Mexican cinnamon
  • honey as desired

Instructions

  • In your favorite tea kettle or small saucepan, add 4 cups of filtred water, cubed apples, cinnamon, cloves, and desired amount of honey. Turn on the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes.
  • When ready, pour directly into mug of choice. Garnish with a few thin-sliced apples on top or a cinnamon stick. Enjoy while hot.

Notes

There is no need to peel the apples. 
Other all-natural sweetener options:
  • Agave
  • Coconut sugar
  • Pure Maple syrup
The tea may add pieces of apple into the cup. If this sounds undesirable, feel free to strain before enjoying.
