Drinking apple tea is a warm and soothing way to add some variety to your diet, while also benefiting from a number of its nutritional properties.

What is Apple Tea?

Apple tea is a unique variation of tea that includes brewing fresh apples along with regular black tea, as well as some spices. While this tea does take a bit more time to prepare than many other brews, its unique flavor makes it worth the effort. Apples are well known to possess many nutrients and antioxidants, making them one of the most popular fruits around the world. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that a combination of apples, tea, and nutritious spices would be a well-known health tonic. Besides that, it also makes for a wonderful seasonal drink, particularly when apples are in season in the autumn.

Benefits of apple tea include its ability to boost immunity, ease inflammation, and aid in weight loss, among others.

Immune System

There has been a great deal of research on the health benefits of apples, and in relation to boosting the immune system against autoimmune diseases, it is one of the best things to add to your diet. Parkinson’s disease, in particular, has been linked to the active ingredients in apples, which are released when this tea is brewed. [1]

Anti-Inflammatory

With good levels of vitamins and minerals, as well as anti-inflammatory compounds, this tea can soothe the aching joints of an arthritis patient, as well as relieve the tension of headaches and sore muscles. [2]

Heart Health

This tea has active ingredients that are known to reduce cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure, not only helping you relax but also protecting your cardiovascular health by lowering your risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. [3]

Vision

The flavonoids and other phytonutrients present in this tea can help prevent macular degeneration and protect your vision as you get older. [4]

Constipation

Many people start their day with this beverage, as it is known to stimulate the digestive system and keep them away from constipation throughout the day. [5]

Bone Health

This tea offers high levels of magnesium, sodium, potassium, vitamin C, and other key ingredients for building strong muscles and bones and lowering your risk of osteoporosis as you age. [6]

Diabetes

Polyphenolic compounds have long been connected to effects on blood sugar within the body, as per a research published in the EXCLI Journal in 2016. Since apple tea has so many phenolic compounds infused with the apples and the tea itself, this can help regulate diabetic symptoms. [7]

How to Make Apple Tea?

Brewing apple tea at home is very easy, provided you have a bit of time and some apple lying around the kitchen. Take a look at the recipe below.

Make hot apple tea

I think most of us need that morning cup of something. Whether it be coffee, tea, or even a ritual AM smoothie, our mornings taste better with a drink that will start us off on the right foot. Today I’m sharing this simple recipe for warm apple tea, and I have a feeling it’s going to make your mornings a whole lot sweeter.

I’ve been incredibly blessed with two (and a half!) really easy pregnancies. The first trimester usually brings an onslaught of morning sickness and yawning and bloating, but I’m otherwise in the clear. Aside from a few out of the norm food cravings (I’m looking at you, sausage egg and cheese biscuits), the only really strange thing that happens to me early on in every pregnancy is that I suddenly can’t tolerate coffee. Although I’m normally a devout morning coffee drinker, the smell, the taste, and even just looking at my French press doesn’t settle with me at all those first few weeks of pregnancy. Thankfully, now that I’m on my way into the second trimester this aversion is mostly gone, but for a month or two I survived the mornings solely because of tea.

This warm apple tea is just the type of thing I would have reached for. Lightly caffeinated, quick to make, and completely free of any scent of java, this warm apple tea is the perfect beverage to cozy up to during our chilliest weeks of the year. A comforting drink made up of Red Diamond Ready to Drink Sweet Tea, this beverage is infused with fresh apples, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, with just a touch of lemon added for balance. While I’ve mainly enjoyed it as a morning sip, this is a perfect little beverage to serve in the afternoon to fireside friends and your other favorite couch loungers. Let’s chat about how to make it.

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine a few cups of Red Diamond Sweet Tea with one roughly chopped apple, a cinnamon stick, and 1/2 of a vanilla bean. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer over low heat for about 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to rest on the burner so that all of the flavors can mix and mingle with one other. Give the mixture a taste after about 10 minutes and allow it to rest a bit longer if you want that cinnamon flavor a touch stronger. Pour your desired amount of apple tea into a heat-safe glass and finish it off with a bit of lemon juice.

This drink is perfectly sweetened with flavors jumping out at you from all sides. Although I have preferred to enjoy it warm, you can easily chill the mixture for an iced-down daytime beverage as well! It batches nicely, so be sure to make a few servings at a time to reheat all week long. Just take care to strain the fruit, cinnamon, and vanilla bean pods out of the liquid so that the flavors don’t intensify too much.

Give this warm apple tea a try and be sure to check out Red Diamond Ready to Drink Sweet Tea! As a Southern transplant, I’ve learned my way around sweet tea, and this is one brand that I can trust to provide quality, real ingredients with consistent flavor. If you’re craving more sweet tea recipes, be sure to check out the sweet tea hot toddy I created a few months ago! It’s another warm drink, just a little boozier. Enjoy, friends!

Приятного аппетита — английские идиомы о еде

Нет времени? Сохрани в

Идиомы всегда вызывают нотку непонимания при переводе. Этот такой своеобразный «слой» языка, который часто не поддается логике и может стать трудностью при понимании иностранной речи. «Можно обойтись и без этих странных словечек и фраз», подумаете вы. Но на самом деле стоит задуматься, представляете ли вы себе человека, который общается на родном вам русском языке и не понимает значения фразы «белая ворона» или «висеть на волоске»? К счастью, школа английского языка EnglishDom заботится о ваших знаниях и в этой нелегкой, но просто супер интересной теме и предлагает познакомиться поближе с некоторыми из самых употребляемых и интересных пословиц.

С какой же темы мы начнем наше путешествие? Полагаю, что тема «Food» подойдет как нельзя лучше, ведь все мы в той или иной степени еще те «гурманы» и поговорить о «вкусняшках» никогда не откажемся. Но будьте бдительны, используя в речи идиомы о еде, мы далеко не всегда имеем в виду что-то, связанное с кулинарией — значения могут быть довольно непредсказуемыми.

Butter someone up

To be extra nice to someone, flatter somebody (commonly for selfish reasons), или быть с кем-то крайне любезным, льстить кому-либо, «умасливать».

Josh will have to butter father up before telling him about crashed car. — Джошу придется задобрить отца, перед тем, как сказать ему о разбитой машине.

Игры для практики английской грамматики

Sell like hot cakes

To be sold very fast или продаваться нарасхват.

The new IPhone 5S sells like hot cakes. — Новый IPhone 5S продается нарасхват или «раскупается, как горячие пирожки».

Make one’s mouth water

To make someone hungry (for something) или «у меня слюнки потекли». Один вид пасты или запах печеного мяса, и можете смело употреблять именно эту идиому!

The smell of that roast chicken is making my mouth water. — У меня просто слюнки текут от запаха жареного цыпленка.

Hard nut to crack

A difficult person or problem to deal with или трудная задача, «крепкий орешек». Бывает трудно «раскусить» нового знакомого, вот уж где эта идиома, как говорится, «в самое яблочко».

He is a hard nut to crack that’s why he doesn’t have many close friends. — С ним трудно меть дело, поэтому у него мало близких друзей.

Half-baked

Not fully thought through; lacking a sound basis или непродуманный, поверхностный, а иногда неопытный или незрелый. Если говорить о прямом значении этой фразы — «недопеченный» — то легко понять, что, например, маловероятно, что недопеченный тортик придется вам по вкусу. Поэтому и «half-baked» проекты и планы будут «сыроватыми» и недоделанными, а люди незрелыми и неопытными.

The trouble with Mick is that some of his ideas are good, but a lot of them are half-baked and can’t be used. — Проблема Мика в том, что некоторые из его идей хорошие, но большинство из них непродуманные и не могут использоваться.

Эти идиомы имеют близкое значение с поговорками и выражениями в русском языке, но существуют и другие, которые имеют свое уникальное значение.

Apple of one’s eye

A person of whom one is extremely fond and proud или «зеница ока». Обычно человека, о котором говорят, употребляя это устойчивое выражение, очень любят, оберегают и относятся как к «любимчику».

Mary is the apple of her grandparents’ eye. They consider her to be a wonderful child. — Мэри — любимица бабушки и дедушки. Они считают ее изумительным ребенком.

(Not my) cup of tea

Not one’s choice or preference или не нравится, быть не по вкусу, «не по душе». Очень часто это выражение используется в отрицательных предложениях.

It is not my cup of tea so I think that I will stay home and not go to the opera. — Это мне не по душе, так что, наверное, я останусь, дома и не пойду в оперу.

A piece of cake

Something easy to do или что-то простое, элементарное, «проще простого».

I’ve always had a hard time studying history, but math is a piece of cake. — Мне всегда было трудно учить историю, но математика для меня «проще простого».

Bring home the bacon

To earn a salary, to bring home money earned at a job или зарабатывать на жизнь, иногда добиваться своего.

John worked for 10 hours a day as he had to bring home the bacon for five kids. — Джон работал по 10 часов в день, так как ему нужно было кормить 5 детей.

Формы обращения в английском языке

Cool as a cucumber

Calm and unruffled или невозмутимый, спокойный, хладнокровный, «спокойной как удав».

She thought she was afraid of flying, but she was cool as a cucumber all the way to Egypt. — Она думала, что боится летать, но была спокойна на протяжении всего полета до Египта.

A well-made cup of hot tea can warm the heart and soul of any tea lover, but it can be unpleasantly bitter or disappointingly tasteless when improperly steeped. Fortunately, it’s easy to prepare a tasty cup of tea. Decide what type of tea you want to brew and choose loose leaves or tea bags. Then heat your water and pour it over the tea. Let the tea steep for the right amount of time according to the tea type and then remove the tea. Enjoy your hot tea on its own or with milk and sugar.

Did You Know? The longer you steep your tea, the stronger the flavor will be. Use a spoon to taste the tea so you don’t over steep it, which could cause the tea to taste bitter.

Tip: If you enjoy black and green teas, try oolong tea. This type of tea is oxidized like black tea, but not as processed so it keeps some of its grassy flavor.

About This Article

To make tea from tea leaves, start by placing the leaves in an infuser or strainer. Once filled, place the tea strainer in a mug or teapot, then pour boiling water over it. Typically, you want about one to three teaspoons of leaves for every 8 to 12 ounces of water, depending on your preference for the strength and taste of your tea. Next, allow the tea to steep — a good rule of thumb is 2 minutes for green tea, 4 minutes for black tea, and 5 minutes for herbal tea. Once your tea is ready, remove the strainer and serve, adding lemon, milk and sugar as desired. For an even easier cup of tea, you can just use a teabag and pour boiling water directly over. Then, let your tea steep until it is ready. For more tips, including when to add milk, read on!
