it’s like a more delicate version of apple cider and i basically live off of this stuff when the weather starts to cool!

Apple Tea (for two)

1 large apple or 2 small, shredded (you can use a cheese grater)

3 cups water

1-2 cinnamon sticks

2-3 pc clove (optional)

honey to taste

1 tsp of lemon juice (add at end)

green tea (optional! some versions call for green tea but i actually prefer it without. up to you!)

throw it all in a pot and let it simmer on a low temperature for an hour or so. while it’s simmering, it will also make your home smell delicious! (if you make it with green tea, add the tea at the end, about five minutes before taking it off the heat so the flavor doesn’t become bitter from oversteeping). strain into your cups and enjoy hot.

end result:

Mediterranean Oven Roasted Lemon Mackerel

Via Appia Antica - Roma - Italia

made pretzels again! these RULE. they are so so so good hot that i always just scarf them all down immediately after they come out of the oven :’)

recipe under the cut!

4 cups bread flour (or all purpose, though OP mentions it will be less stretchy)

2 ½ tsp instant yeast

3 ½ tsp sugar or baking malt

2 ¼ tsp salt

Just barely over 2 tbsp softened butter

Mix all and add 1 1/3 cups water

Read the rest of OP’s recipe for cooking instructions (also, the water/baking soda mix is 2 tbsp baking soda to every 6 1/3 cup water) HAVE FUN

ALSO I used this link here  at the pretzel twisting stage because I couldn’t visualize how you twist the pretzel.

tea for two <3
