Ingredients

  • 4 cups hot black tea

  • 4 cups boiling water

  • 4 tablespoons raw sugar, or more to taste

  • 1 large apple - peeled, cored and quartered

Directions

  1. Pour tea into large wide-rimmed cups or 1-pint soup bowls, filling them about half full. Dilute with freshly boiled water to a golden color; add 1 tablespoon sugar per cup.

  2. Place an apple quarter in each cup. Stir and serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

You can use caster sugar instead of raw. Use more sugar if your apple isn't very sweet.
