Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 2 medium sweet, crisp apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), washed and sliced thinly
  • 1–2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Honey or natural sweetener, to taste (optional)
  • Optional lemon slices, for added citrus brightness

Optional Variations

  • 1 cinnamon stick (for a warm, aromatic twist)
  • A few fresh mint leaves or chamomile flowers (for a calming herbal infusion)
  • A pinch of black pepper or cloves (for extra spice and depth)
  • Slices of pear or a splash of fresh orange juice (for added fruitiness)
  • Maple syrup or agave nectar (to replace honey for a vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Fresh Ingredients: Thoroughly wash the apples, then cut them into thin slices or small chunks. Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it thinly to release maximum flavor during brewing.
  2. Combine Ingredients in a Pot: Place the apple slices and ginger into a medium saucepan. Pour in four cups of filtered water, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged.
  3. Simmer Gently: Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Let the mixture steep gently for 20 to 30 minutes to extract rich flavors and nutrients.
  4. Sweeten and Strain: Turn off the heat after steeping. Add honey or your preferred natural sweetener if desired, then strain the tea through a fine mesh or sieve into your favorite mug or teapot, removing solids.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Korean Apple Ginger Tea warm to soothe the body and soul, or refrigerate and serve chilled for a refreshing twist during warmer days.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples and ginger to achieve the best flavor and preserve natural nutrients.
  • Add sweetener after steeping to control sweetness without overpowering natural flavors.
  • Simmer slowly to deepen the tea’s flavor profile—patience yields the perfect brew.
  • Slice apples and ginger thinly to increase surface area for a more potent infusion.
  • Use filtered water to enhance clarity and taste, avoiding any off-flavors.
