How to Brew Apple Green Tea
Tea: Use 3 to 4 grams for 250 mL of water.
Water: Heat fresh filtered water to 80°C, or 176°F.
Time: Steep for 3 minutes and taste. Remove the leaves promptly to keep the green tea smooth.
Serving: Enjoy plain or add a small amount of honey or sugar if you prefer a sweeter apple profile.
Tip: A scale gives a more consistent result than a tablespoon because fruit pieces and tea leaves have different sizes and weights.
Iced Apple Green Tea and Cold Brew
Iced tea: Use 6 to 8 grams for 250 mL of water. Steep at 80°C for 3 minutes, strain, and pour over a full glass of ice.
Cold brew: Use 4 to 5 grams for 250 mL of cold filtered water. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, then strain and serve cold.
Serving idea: Add thin apple slices or fresh mint immediately before serving if desired.
Caffeine and Best Time to Enjoy
Contains naturally occurring caffeine from green tea.
The amount in each cup varies with the quantity of tea, water temperature, and infusion time. This blend is well suited to mornings, afternoons, and refreshing iced tea service.
