Turkish Apple Fruit Tea Blend
Turkish apple tea — elma çayı — is one of the most beloved and widely consumed fruit teas in the world, and it makes a cold brew iced tea that is naturally sweet, vibrantly fruity, and completely caffeine-free. The blend typically combines dried apple pieces, hibiscus, rosehip, and a touch of cinnamon to create a tea that is tart, sweet, and warmly spiced all at once — with a beautiful deep red colour that looks stunning in a clear glass over ice. Cold-brewed overnight, Turkish apple tea produces a rich, jewel-toned infusion with a flavour that is reminiscent of a high-quality apple cider, but lighter and more refreshing. It's an excellent choice for children and adults alike, and it's one of the easiest teas to enjoy without any added sweetener because the dried fruit contributes so much natural sweetness during the cold brew process. It's also wonderful as a base for a sparkling iced tea — pour it over ice and top with sparkling water for an instant, impressive mocktail that tastes like it took far more effort than it did.
