Sparkling KANZI® apple pie spiced tea

The pretty two-tone skin of a KANZI® apple makes it a delicious garnish for drinks, like this sparkling KANZI® apple pie spiced tea. A bright and beautiful drink filled with flavour, it can be enjoyed as a refreshing iced tea or a warming drink on cool autumn days. The dense flesh of a KANZI® apple naturally stays white for longer, making them the perfect apple to slice up as a garnish.

Method

1 - Add the tea bags to the boiling water and allow them to brew for a few minutes.
2 - Remove the teabags and stir in the honey and ground cinnamon.
3 - Set aside and allow to cool completely.
4 - In a large jug fill 1/3 with ice, add the slices of 2 Kanzi apples, lemon slices, and 2 mint stems, followed by the brewed tea.
5 - Pour over the top the sparkling apple juice and soda water, stir well to combine.
6 - Add more ice on top to fill the jug up and place the remainder of the mint stems in.
7 - Serve straight away with the remanding Kanzi apple slices arranged into a fan on top.

TIP: You can use a toothpick to help balance a slice on top of a glass when serving.

NOTE: This Kanzi apple pie spiced iced tea recipe can also be turned into a hot version for a warming drink on cool Autumn days. For a hot version substitute the soda water for boiled water and the sparking apple juice for standard apple juice warmed up.
