Easy Autumn Apple Tea Recipe

My sweet girl loves to help in the kitchen! So early in the day, my daughter and I decided to make a batch of tea we could enjoy outdoors later in the afternoon. (Since we live in Florida, we spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the break in the heat when the temperatures dip.)

She felt so proud, helping me make a “grown-up” drink such as tea. But I used decaffeinated black tea bags, so this Apple Tea is actually very kid-friendly!

How Kids Can Help Make Apple Tea:

Here are some of the tea-making tasks kids can help with…

• measuring the apple juice and pouring it into the saucepan
• unwrapping each of the tea bags
• stirring the juice on the stove (**with very careful supervision)
• slicing the apple using our kid-friendly apple cutter
• pushing the cloves into the skin-side of the apple wedges we used for garnish

You can enjoy your Autumn Apple Tea hot or cold. If you’re wanting cold, iced tea, let it cool to room temperature, then pop it in the refrigerator to cool completely.
