Turn Apple Crumble Loose Leaf Cube 100g into a cozy dessert-style cup. Follow these simple steps for hot or iced tea, with the right water temperature and timing.
Quick answer
Brew Apple Crumble Loose Leaf Cube 100g with freshly boiled water for 3–5 minutes. Use about one teaspoon per cup, then taste and adjust the steep time to your liking.
Why this tisane suits a dessert-style brew
Apple Crumble is a tisane, not a true tea, so it has no bitterness from tannins. That means you can steep it a little longer if you want a deeper apple-cinnamon flavour without the cup turning harsh. The blend’s sweet apple, chicory, and cinnamon notes are designed to taste like home-baked goodness, so treat it more like a fruit infusion than a delicate green tea.
Hot vs iced: one cube, two cups
The same cube works both ways. For a hot cup, follow the steps below and enjoy it as a morning or afternoon treat. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch (steep 5 minutes), let it cool, then pour over ice. The cinnamon and apple notes stay clear when chilled, making it a refreshing summer drink.
Step-by-step brewing
- Measure the leaf: Add about one teaspoon (2–3 grams) of Apple Crumble per 200 ml cup to your infuser or teapot. A common mistake is packing the infuser too full—leave room for the leaves to expand.
- Heat fresh water: Bring fresh water to a boil (100°C/212°F). Let it settle for a few seconds so it stops bubbling violently. Don’t use re-boiled water; it can taste flat and dull the fruit notes.
- Pour and start timing: Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep for 3–5 minutes. Start tasting at 3 minutes. If you prefer a stronger cup, steep closer to 5 minutes—but avoid going beyond 5 minutes or the cinnamon may overpower the apple.
- Remove the leaves: Lift out the infuser or strain the tea into your cup. Serve hot as is, or add a splash of milk if you like. Leaving the leaves in will keep extracting flavour and can make the cup too intense.
- For iced tea: Steep 5 minutes, then cool and pour over ice. Adjust sweetness with honey or syrup if desired. Brew a double-strength batch so the ice doesn’t water down the flavour.
