Description

This is not just an ordinary tea; it is the essence of autumn captured in a cup. Imagine the aroma of freshly brewed black tea mingling with the spicy scent of cinnamon, cloves, and anise. Add to that the deep sweetness of baked apple, slowly releasing its flavor and juice, while a surprising, forest note of fresh rosemary breaks through. This drink is a ritual that warms the body and soothes the senses on cool, rainy evenings. It is perfect for serving to guests as a non-alcoholic mulled drink or as a luxurious beverage for yourself, accompanying a good book and a warm blanket. Visually, it looks stunning, especially in a transparent cup, where the whole baked apple surrounded by spices can be seen.

Preparation steps

Preparation of baked apple

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan or conventional). Wash the apple thoroughly under running water and dry it with a paper towel. Using an apple corer or a small, sharp knife, remove the core, creating a hole in the center of the apple. Be careful not to pierce the apple all the way through - the bottom must remain intact so that the filling doesn't leak out during baking.

Ingredients: Apple (sweet variety, e.g. Ligol, Jonagold)
The easiest way is to use a special corer (it looks like a metal tube with teeth). If you don't have one, carefully cut out the seed cavity with a knife, making a circular incision around the stem, and then prying out the center.
2

Place the hollowed apple in a small baking dish that fits it snugly. Insert 2-3 cloves into the center of the apple, then pour in half of the honey (about 1 tablespoon, or 20g). The honey will fill the cavity and during baking will soak into the flesh of the apple, caramelizing it from the inside.

Ingredients: Apple (sweet variety, e.g. Ligol, Jonagold), Cloves, wildflower honey
A baking dish will prevent juices from spilling onto the oven tray. It can be a small ramekin or simply a piece of aluminum foil with the edges folded up to create a bowl.
3

Place the dish with the apple in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. The finished apple should be soft (check by inserting a fork - it should go in easily), and its skin slightly wrinkled. The juices that come out will be thick and aromatic.

Ingredients: Apple (sweet variety, e.g. Ligol, Jonagold)
Baking time depends on the size and variety of the apple. Check them after 20 minutes. Do not bake too long, so the apple retains its shape and does not completely fall apart.

Brewing and Serving Tea

4

While the apple is baking, prepare the infusion. In a teapot or small pot, place the black tea leaves, a cinnamon stick, the remaining cloves, a star anise, a sprig of rosemary, and two slices of orange. If using, add a slice of fresh ginger now.

Ingredients: Loose black tea, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise, Sprig of fresh rosemary, Orange, Fresh ginger
Using whole spices instead of ground ones is key for the clarity and depth of flavor of the drink. Add the rosemary whole - it will be easier to remove later.
5

In a kettle, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the prepared ingredients in the teapot. Cover and let it steep for 5-7 minutes, so the tea and spices can infuse and release their aromas. Do not steep longer, as black tea can become bitter and astringent.

Ingredients: Water
If you don't have a teapot with a strainer, you can brew everything in a pot and then strain the infusion through a fine sieve directly into the cups.
6

Prepare two large, preferably transparent, heatproof mugs. Carefully remove the baked apple from the oven and place one in each mug (if the apple is large, you can cut it in half). Strain the hot tea through a sieve, pouring it into the mugs directly over the apple.

Use thick kitchen gloves to take the apple out of the oven. Transparent cups or latte glasses will beautifully showcase the entire composition.
7

Add the remaining honey (about half a tablespoon per cup) to each cup and mix well until it dissolves. Taste and add more honey if needed. Finally, garnish the drink by placing a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange used for brewing inside. Serve immediately while it's hot.

Ingredients: wildflower honey, Cinnamon stick, Orange
Gently stir to avoid damaging the baked apple. A cinnamon stick can be used as a stirrer. This is the perfect time to add an optional splash of rum for adults.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking hot, spiced beverages dates back to the Middle Ages. Drinks like wassail in England or mulled wine throughout Europe were popular during winter holidays and festivals. It was believed that warming spices not only enhanced the flavor but also protected against illnesses and evil spirits.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in tall, thick-walled glasses or rounded mugs that retain heat for a long time. Add a small teaspoon to each mug so that you can scoop out the soft apple flesh after drinking the tea. You can also sprinkle a bit of freshly grated nutmeg on top to enhance the aroma.

🥡 Storage

It is best to drink this tea immediately after preparation. If you have any leftover brew, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours and reheat it, but it will lose some of its fresh aroma. The baked apple can be stored separately in the fridge and used the next day.
