Warm Hugs Rooibos Tea
Pure maple syrup
Apple juice
Cinnamon, for garnish
Thin apple slice, for garnish
Use 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per 8 oz mug. For this mug size, use 2 teaspoons total. Measure tea based on the mug size, not the water, so the apple juice doesn’t dilute the flavor.
Bring water to a boil and fill your mug only halfway with hot water. Add the tea leaves and steep.
While the tea steeps, heat enough apple juice to fill the rest of the mug. You can warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
After 5–8 minutes, remove the tea leaves. Sweeten with maple syrup to taste, keeping in mind the apple juice will add natural sweetness.
Pour the hot apple juice into the mug. Garnish with a thin apple slice and a light sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm.
Every tea has a story to tell
There is something undeniably magical about watching a tea change color right before your eyes. Butterfly pea flower teas create rich blues that transform into purples, pinks, and reds with the simple addition of citrus.
