Sage and Apple Infused Rooibos Tea

 
Fall 2020 Infused Iced Tea
 

Sage’s minty green leaves have been tempting me all summer as they grow in my herb garden. But I hadn’t cooked with them because their earthy flavor seemed a little too rich for summer’s bright flavors. September hit Colorado with a crazy snow storm but then peaked r’s savory flavors.

Ingredients:

5 Rooibos Tea Bags Shop Here

1 Apple. I used a Honeycrisp apple because I thought it’s texture would hold up against the hot water. Choose whichever type you prefer!

4-5 Sage Leaves

32 Ounces Hot Water


Directions:

  • Core and cut your apple into quarters

  • Slice your sage leaves in half. The smell may distract you for a few minutes!

  • Place your apples, sage leaves, and 5 tea bags into your pitcher

  • Pour boiling water over and let this steep for 3 minutes.

  • After 3 minutes, remove the tea bags but keep the apple and sage in.

  • Let this mixture sit until it reaches room temperature.

  • Pour over ice and enjoy!
