Apple Raisin Tea

Why people make this tea

This is one of Nourilo’s simplest and most loved recipes — just two ingredients, fifteen minutes, and you have a warm, naturally sweet tea with a lovely apple fragrance. Apple has long been called the “youth fruit” in Chinese food-therapy tradition, and it is not hard to see why: it is rich in pectin, vitamins, and minerals that support skin softness and circulation. Raisins, which are nutritionally more concentrated than fresh grapes, are associated with nourishing the blood, strengthening the muscles, and improving the stomach. Together, this tea is traditionally favoured by women who want to support a brighter complexion, fade dullness or light brown spots, and maintain energy. Children can enjoy it too.
