Apple Honey Tea

Today I'd like to share an easy and healthy recipe for a comforting and healing drink.

Apple Honey Tea

3 or 4 apples, unpeeled, cored and sliced
6 cups cold water (filtered or spring is best)
1 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbs honey

Put the apples and the cold water in a covered saucepan and simmer for two hours.

Remove from heat and strain. Add the lemon juice and honey and drink hot. You can make this tea in advance and store it in the refrigerator and heat up a cup at a time.

Note: If you want to use your slow cooker instead of the stove, put the apples and water in the crockpot, cover, turn the temperature to high and let simmer for a couple hours. Then add the other ingredients and start sipping.

Apples are thought to have cooling properties that help reduce a fever, in addition to the other proven health benefits of the fruit.

The sweet flavor of this tea is soothing to adults and children alike.
