Apple tea is perfect for celebrating cool fall temperatures and apple-picking season.
Below is a recipe from The Green Witch’s Guide to Magical Plants and Flowers, written by Chris Young and Susan Ottaviano.
Have you heard the term, “Green Witch” over the past few years? The definition of a green witch is someone who embraces nature and intentionally works toward living in harmony with the earth and humanity. Green witches believe that their “connection to the earth and the universe allows them to draw great power from creating love, health, peace, blessings and harmony in their world.”
Magical herbalism is the central practice of a green witch. The two Green Witches who authored this book seek to encourage readers to transform everyday flowers, fruits and plants from the garden into salts, herbal infusions, soaps, sachets, tinctures and more.
Enjoy the recipe below. I’d say this apple tea is definitely worth making again and again.
