French Apple Cinnamon Tea
This French Apple Cinnamon Tea recipe calls for cinnamon, apples, and honey, providing a little crispness with a dash of sweetness and a splash of warmth. Sure sounds like autumn in a cup to me!
The wholesome nutrients in apples include beta-carotene, vitamins C and B, calcium, phosphorus, boron, polyphenols, and pectin (Mars, 2004). Because apples tend to be cooling, you can add warming spices, such as cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) to counter the cooling property (McIntyre, 2002). Apple cinnamon tea makes for a nutritious, flavorful fall beverage.Â
Sometimes we have a tendency to over-complicate recipes and ingredients. This French Apple Cinnamon tea is a simple, crisp way to appreciate nature’s bounty without overthinking the details.                                     Â
