Hot apple tea
« on: December 21, 2008, 01:25:34 pm »
This is also from the Fast and Easy UK cookbook.  It only makes one cup, so increase the quantities to reheat, to make it more worth going to the effort.  Tastes really nice, actually - very comforting.  My husband makes it for me if I feel myself getting run down, to ward off getting a cold or whatever.

3 dessert apples, preferably organic
4 whole cloves (we use about 2, I think - because I'm not a cloves fan.  Keep meaning to try adding cinnamon, but haven't done it yet)
450g water

Method:

1.  Wash the apples, cut into quarters, and chop by dropping onto running blades at speed 4.

2.  Weigh in the water, add the cloves and cook for 35 mins / 90oC / speed 1

3.  Place the internal steaming basket in the bowl, push down carefully and strain into mugs while holding the basket in place (use an oven glove).  Serve hot.
As my picture shows, I've suddenly become younger :-)  DD was of the opinion that her picture should be here, not mine!
