Hazer Baba Turkish Apple Flavour Tea powder 250 g

Product Information

Turkish apple tea served in shops is usually made from tea granules, tea crystals or tea powders. Tea crystals have a texture and color resembling light muscovado sugar, but both the color and texture can vary. Sometimes, this instant apple tea can look like a white powder but it will still dissolve into a yellow-brown drink. Tea Origins Coffee and teas are served like that as well and you can see the serving trays and glasses in every tea room or restaurant. It looks very pretty! They are very inexpensive to buy and last a long time, which means it’s quite handy to have them at home especially if you like making lemonades or iced teas. I also often use them for traditional sweet making, fruit curds, jams or marmalade making, so there are plenty of uses for these ingredients.

I sometimes add a dash of whisky in, especially on a cold autumn evening. It’s the perfect hot drink for late summer or autumn garden parties and of course a great drink for the autumn and winter season. You can buy instant Turkish apple tea in specialized shops or online. Depending on your location, you may stumble upon it in some supermarkets as well. Loose leaf Turkish apple tea is available from many online shops.

Regional Food Dishes: Any first-time visitor to Turkey who assumes kebabs are an everyday feast is misinformed. Thousands of traditional dishes across Turkey associate with specific regions and are well respected for production, excellent ingredients, and diversity from standard recipes. If food is your passion in life, a culinary tour of Turkey’s cuisine alongside tasting tea or coffee is highly recommended. This tea is made from dried apple pieces, which are infused in a hot water with some cinnamon. The tea is traditionally served in small tulip like glasses on a tray with a spoon and sugar cubes on the side.Bring the water to boil, turn down the heat and carry on simmering for a minimum of 10-15 minutes to allow the apples to infuse the water. I also use the frozen apple tea ice cubes to make iced teas or add it to my breakfast smoothies. What to do with the discarded apples Turkish apple tea tastes very different from your regular apple tea. Firstly, it’s very intense and bold, very sweet with an acidic touch. Imagine drinking boiled, freshly squeezed sweet apple juice with a touch of citric acid. That’s exactly how instant Turkish apple tea tastes like. Apple tea made from loose dried apple pieces is more delicate, but will also have a tangy note. Potential Health Benefits Add the honey first (or your choice of sweetener such as golden syrup or golden syrup alternatives), taste it and then add the lemon to adjust the flavour.

What you’ll end up by making this recipe are wonderfully stewed slices of apple infused with cinnamon. They will be soft and ready to eat. The one that don’t have much flavour are the large floury type of pink apples, you basically want to make sure the apple has a bit of a bite to it and it’s lovely zingy and juicy. Ever asked yourself what would it be like to drink a melted sweet apple candy with a sour touch? Try Turkish apple tea and you may get a pretty good idea. This unique drink is served in restaurants, shops and hotels throughout Turkey, but you can easily make it at home too. What is Turkish apple tea?

If you to it the other way round, you will not be able to correctly judge how much sugar to add and you’ll probably add way too much.

Somehow adding the lemon first makes the drink impossible to flavour with sugar unless you add a lot of it. Oralet, a fruit tea with flavours like orange, apple, lemon, and cherry, looks more like sprinkles for decorating cakes rather than leaves. The unusual bright colour, fruity taste, and sweetness mean this drink does not need extra sugar. Sold at local weekly markets, this type appeals to tourists more than Turks. The apple flavour goes well with other seasonal flavour variations, if you are happy to divert from the traditional recipe. I then use one or two frozen apple tea cubes to make a fresh hot (or cold) drink by pouring hot water over it and make it into an instant hot apple drink!Depending on what type of apple you use, you might get a different flavour finish. I normally go for dark red apples, but green apples are lovely too. This traditional Turkish apple tea is made from fresh apples, which only ment to infuse the drink/water and then ment to be discarded. But, by ‘discarding’ I certainly don’t mean throwing in the bin! First, Turks use a steel, two-tire teapot called a caydanlik. Take the bottom pot and boil water on the stove. Put two tablespoons of tea leaves into the top pot, and fill with boiling water from the lower one. Sit it on top of the bottom pan for 10 minutes. Rather than use cups, Turks drink hot tea out of small tulip-shaped glasses sitting on round saucers. When serving, fill the glass a quarter or third of the way up with tea mixture from the caydanlik top half. Top up with clear water from the bottom pot. Alter this mixture according to whether you like strong (demli) or weak (açik.) Try adding sweetness, then stir, and drink. Turks never add milk but like sweetness.

Harking to the old days of face-to-face interaction, indulging in daily rituals of tea drinking in Turkey is personal and, in most cases of strangers, the beginning of beautiful friendships. Tea even has a Turkish love proverb. “Sevmek Çay Gibidir Sevilmek Seker Bizim Gibi Garibanlar Çayi Sekersiz” Meaning “To love is like tea, to be loved is like sugar. The poor like us drink their tea without sugar.” The Best of Turkish Tea If you happen to make more apple tea than you need, you can also use it as a liquid instead of water in bread or fruit scones or add it to your morning smoothie (especially if it’s non-dairy based as the lemon or citric acid in this apple tea might curdle the milk or yoghurt).

What is Turkish apple tea?

To use citric or malic acid, just add a few crystals into the hot drink and let and them dissolve. Taste and add more if needed as a little goes a long way and you only want to sharpen the flavour of the apple, but not make it too strong. Extra Tip You can buy apple tea powder or granules and simply dissolve them in a hot water, but I think it’s nice to make the drink authentically and start from the real ingredients!
